Celtic defender Josip Juranovic is in a fight to feature again before the end of the season, according to a report.
Football Scotland claim the Croatian will struggle for fitness before the middle of next month.
That makes him a massive doubt for the May 1 derby meeting at Parkhead that could potentially wind up a title decider between the Hoops and rivals Rangers.
Juranovic has been a massive Ange Postecoglou transfer success story since joining the club in August from Legia Warsaw.
Initially filling in at left-back, he then shifted across to the right and has been a fans' favourite with the club even adopting a Pitbull tune in his honour.
Juranovic was taken off for Anthony Ralston in the Scottish Cup semi-final and it's claimed he faces a battle to be first for the final derby of the season as well as games against Ross County, Hearts and Dundee United.
Celtic then host Motherwell in the final game of the season on May 14.
The same report insists rumours of Cameron Carter-Vickers also missing a chunk of games are "unfounded".
