Celtic will be without defenders Andreas Hinkel (thigh) and Jos Hooiveld (hamstring) for Sunday's Active Nation Scottish Cup fifth-round tie at Dunfermline.
Both limped out of Tuesday's shock Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat at Kilmarnock, the game that marked Scott Brown's return from a long-term ankle injury.
Edson Braafheid could make his debut at East End Park, Lee Naylor has recovered from a knock, while Paddy McCourt (knee) and Shaun Maloney (heel) remain sidelined.
New Dunfermline midfielder Gary Mason is set to miss out as the former Hamilton man is short of match practice and striker Sam Morrow will also be absent as delays regarding his availability continue following his move from Derry City. Experienced midfielders Stephen Glass and striker Graham Bayne are both injured.
Celtic (from): Boruc, Thompson, O'Dea, Loovens, Naylor, Braafheid, NGuemo, Caddis, McGinn, Zheng, Brown, Ki, Crosas, McGeady, Samaras, Rasmussen, Fortune, Zaluska, Kamara, Keane, McGowan.
