Celtic will remain without a number of first-team regulars for the visit of Ross County on Saturday as they return to Scottish Premiership for the first time since January 2.
The Hoops eased into the Scottish Cup fifth round with a thumping 5-0 win over Highland League minnows Buckie Thistle last weekend and Brendan Rodger's side will be strong favourites to pile on more misery for the Staggies.
Derek Adams' men were dumped out of the cup by Championship high-flyers Partick Thistle and were winless in four matches before the winter break, securing just a solitary point in the process. County can count themselves fortunate that Livingston sit below them in the automatic relegation spot.
