Leigh Griffiths won’t be derailed from his target of hitting 100 Celtic goals.
The striker made it number 97 in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hibs but went off injured shortly after scoring against the Edinburgh club.
A scan on his injured calf will reveal the extent of his injury with the clock ticking down towards Celtic’s Europa League ties against Zenit St Petersburg next month.
Gutted to come off injured, but delighted to help contribute and get us 3 points! Il be back hungrier than ever to reach that ???? goal mark! ???????????? pic.twitter.com/RiNs9ftFZt

Moussa Dembele replaced the Scotland striker but Celtic never regained the levels that they enjoyed in the opening half hour.
With Hearts on Tuesday followed by a trip to Kilmarnock on Saturday there is little time for recovery although Celtic will then enjoy their first free midweek of the season.
Brendan Rodgers is expected to be busy in the transfer market although it is unlikely that he will bring in another striker despite the injury concerns over Griffiths and Dembele.
The win over Hibs maintained Celtic’s 11 point lead over Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership.
