Defender Ryan Strain (hamstring) is out while fit-again skipper Ross Docherty may have to settle for a place on the bench once more.
Goalkeeper Jack Butland came in for criticism after the Old Firm defeat but is expected to keep his place. Defenders James Tavernier and Robin Propper could be axed while forward Rabbi Matondo is injured.
Dujon Sterling may replace Tavernier at right-back with Neraysho Kasanwirjo poised for his debut alongside John Souttar at the heart of the defence.
Cyril Dessers is set to lead the line with Danilo still struggling, while Albanian international Nedim Bajrami should replace Matondo after arriving from Sassuolo.
