Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is likely to be without several players for the visit of Dundee in the Ladbrokes Premiership on Saturday.

Midfielders Stuart Armstrong (calf) and Scott Brown (hamstring) and defender Jozo Simunovic (hamstring tear) are set to miss out with a view to having them ready for next week's Champions League game against Bayern Munich in Germany.

Defender Anthony Ralston is still recovering from a slight tear to his meniscus, Australia international Tom Rogic does not return from international duty until the day before the Dundee game and will rest while defender Erik Sviatchenko and midfielder Eboue Kouassi (both knee) are still working their way back to full fitness.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Lustig, Tierney, Ajer, Boyata, Simunovic, Forrest, Sinclair, Bitton, Roberts, Brown, Armstrong, Hayes, McGregor, Benyu, Ntcham, Dembele, Griffiths, Edouard, De Vries.
