Celtic face significant setbacks, with Alistair Johnston sidelined for a prolonged period due to a hamstring injury expected to keep him out until November.

The visitors’ challenges continue with striker Adam Idah unavailable due to a knock and Auston Trusty ruled out with a foot problem. Meanwhile, Jota remains on the comeback trail from a cruciate ligament injury.

On a positive note, Benjamin Nygren arrives in confident form after scoring twice against Livingston, and he is likely to retain his place on the flank.
