Champions League third qualifying round, first leg
Celtic utility man Charlie Mulgrew is likely to miss Wednesday's
Champions League third qualifying round visit from Qarabag of
Azerbaijan.
But Gary Mackay-Steven should be available after suffering from a cold.
And fellow midfielder Kris Commons is available after recovering from a broken toe that ruled him out of the previous round's victory over Stjarnan.
Mulgrew picked up a knee injury during Saturday's 2-0 friendly win over Rennes at Celtic Park.
Midfielder Callum McGregor is Celtic's only other absentee as he builds up fitness following an ankle break.
Celtic reached the third qualifying round after defeating Stjarnan of Iceland, while Qarabag knocked out Rudar Pljevlja of Montenegro.
Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong: "It is always a tough ask playing teams from different leagues with different styles of play and we just have to make sure we are at our best.
"It will be a different test from Stjarnan. I think they move the ball very well and they like to try to dominate possession, as do we.
"We are under no illusions, it will be a challenge, but I think we're playing well at the moment and hopefully we can make a good start."
