Rangers captain Lawrence Shankland faces a significant spell on the sidelines. The 31-year-old forward is expected to miss up to three months of action due to a hamstring injury.
In other injury news across the Scottish Premiership, Dundee striker Joe Westley is also sidelined after x-rays confirmed a fracture to his cheekbone.
Celtic have received notification from the Colombian Football Federation that 24-year-old forward Camilo Duran will join the national team for upcoming friendly matches against Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru.
On a more positive note for Celtic, winger Jota may return from his long-term injury sooner than initially projected. The 27-year-old was previously expected to return in late October.
Looking toward the transfer market, Liverpool are prepared to let left-back Luke Chambers leave on loan this January, with Celtic showing interest in the 22-year-old as a potential long-term development project.
