Craig Gordon and Leigh Griffiths will miss both legs of Celtic’s Europa League ties against Zenit St Petersburg.
Both players were injured during Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hibs with Griffiths expected to be out for four weeks while Gordon won’t be back in action until May.

Celtic are covered for Griffiths with Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard both available but the injury to Gordon will see the hoops move into the transfer market.
Dorus de Vries was introduced on Saturday but a new keeper, either as a first pick or back-up is needed with teenager Ross Doohan the current second choice. Last week Conor Hazard went on loan to Falkirk.
Rodgers expects to be busy until the transfer window closes with Celtic expected to complete an 18 month loan deal to bring in Charly Musonda from Chelsea.
Celtic face Hearts on Tuesday night looking to extend their lead at the top to 14 points.
