Ange Postecoglou hadn’t warned fans of an absence and had stated that he had a fully fit squad on Friday after the players completed a training session.

It’s a worry not having Giakouamkis; it’s hoped he’s not out for a long period of time, with big games fast approaching for Celtic. Celtic will play the Glasgow derby before hosting Real Madrid in the same week; Giakouamkis could be influential in the outcome of both games.

Let’s hope it’s not anything to do with the rumours of clubs interested in him. Although, he was classed as ‘untouchable’ by Fabrizio Romano.

Ange will likely reveal more to Sky Sports before the game, with the broadcaster showing the encounter at Tannadice.

With Maeda dropping to the bench, he’ll likely be used as the substitute striker. It gives Abada a huge opportunity to show the manager why he should be in the side more often.
