Aiden McGeady is a major doubt for Wednesday’s Celtic-Spartak Moscow Champions League clash.
The Irish international played for 24 minutes of Friday’s 4-2 defeat from Zenit St Petersburg after a two month lay-off.
According to Spartak doctor Michael Vartapetova McGeady has suffered a reaction in his calf muscles with his place on Wednesday questionable.
McGeady left Celtic just over two years ago and has mixed emotions about returning to the ground where he made his name in the game.
“I’m really looking forward to this game,” he admitted after the defeat from Zenit. “I hope the Celtic fans will give me a good reception, but I’m not sure they will.
“Despite everything that has happened, I hope we can still win in Glasgow. I was delighted to be playing after a long spell out injured, but the team was upset to lose to Zenit.
“The new coach, Valery Karpin, kept everything the same, really. He didn’t change much.
“Our main hope is that the supporters don’t desert us. We need them more than ever now.”
Georgian international midfielder Jano Ananidze who played against Zenit will miss the trip to Glasgow due to a knee injury.
Celtic will be without the suspended Victor Wanyama but are likely to have Scott Brown in the starting XI.
The Celtic skipper is due to have surgery on a long standing hip injury but has delayed going under the knife due to Celtic’s Champions League commitments.
