CELTIC have suffered another injury blow with Josip Juranovic forced off against Dundee United.
The Croatian full-back was back in the starting line-up for the visit of Dundee United but only lasted 25 minutes before hobbling off.
Juranovic, who was deployed at left-back, suffered a leg knock and felt he couldn't continue.
And he signalled to his team-mates to put the ball out to allow him to come off after playing on in discomfort.
It's just the latest of a string of injuries suffered by key Parkhead figures.
Kyogo Furuhashi and skipper Callum McGregor missed today's match through injury.
Giorgos Giakoumakis is also sidelined after sustaining a calf injury in the warm-up to the clash with Raith Rovers.
Ange Postecoglou does have back-up at left-back in youngster Adam Montgomery and Boli Bolingoli.
And it was Montgomery who was brought on to replace the limping Juranovic with Bolingoli not in today's squad.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
