Celtic

Cameron Carter-Vickers remains out for Celtic and is not expected back before the following weekend's game against Hibernian. Dane Murray has taken three of the last five starts on the right of the centre-back pair.

On the other side of defence, Liam Scales has taken three starts to Auston Trusty's one in the last five matches. Callum Osmand made his first start of the run against Hearts but was withdrawn at half-time as a precaution over a hamstring concern; he is expected to be available again on Thursday.

Sebastian Tounekti, left out against Hearts for tactical reasons, is fit and set to return, while Hyun-jun Yang remains unavailable with a hamstring injury and is still expected to be out for another one or two weeks.

Celta de Vigo

Celta Vigo will be without Pablo Durán and Borja Iglesias because of calf injuries, while Miguel Román is sidelined with a knee problem. At right-back, Javi Rodríguez and Álvaro Núñez have each taken two of the last five starts.

On the left, Sebastián Cáceres and Marcos Alonso have shared time fairly evenly, though Alonso's most recent appearance came only as a late substitute. Hugo Burcio and Couhaib Driouech both made their first starts of the run in that match, in central midfield and on the right wing, while Javi Rueda, a starter in three of the last five games, was also limited to a late appearance.
