Celtic manager Gordon Strachan expects Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink to be sidelined for a significant period of time after the striker picked up a stomach muscle injury during Saturday's 4-0 demolition of Hamilton.
The Netherlands striker lasted just 60 seconds of the SPL clash after colliding with Accies defender Brian Easton.
Top-scorer Georgios Samaras replaced Vennegoor of Hesselink and found the net, along with Shunsuke Nakamura, Scott McDonald and Aiden McGeady.
"It is an abductor muscle injury, so that's not good news," confirmed Strachan. "That's the only downside to the day to be honest.
"He doesn't know yet what happened. I thought it was his knee at first, so I'm happy that it wasn't that."
