Former Celtic flop Saidy Janko won't get the chance to make a return to Parkhead with Young Boys in the Champions League tomorrow after being ruled out with injury.
And he seems to be set to even lose his place in the squad for the remainder of the campaign because of Swiss red tape rules.
The 29-year-old signed for the Hoops ten years ago from Manchester United on a four-year deal.
However, he only managed seven league starts before he was shipped out to Barnsley on loan after just one season.
He was then sold to Saint-Etienne and eventually returned to his homeland country to sign for Young Boys after stints at Porto, Nottingham Forest and Bochum.

But a thigh injury and then a back problem has kept him out all season and he won't make it back in time for this week.
YB stated: "After his thigh injury, Saidy Janko was on track. Now he has back problems, which will extend his rehabilitation time."
And the club are set to take him off the registered players list for the remainder of their season after signing Rayan Raveloson - they need to free up a place after reaching their limit and Janko's fitness issues mean he is likely to be dumped.
Meanwhile, YB skipper Loris Benito is refusing to panic ahead of this week's clash at Celtic despite getting held to a goalless draw at the weekend by bottom club Winterthur.
He said: "We played a good, dominant match for long stretches. The only thing that was missing was the goals.
"We had enough chances, but our biggest shortcoming today was the conversion of opportunities. We have to take out chances at Celtic."
