Brendan Rodgers already has plenty of problems to deal with at the moment, coming out of what was arguably the worst transfer window in Celtic's history. If Kelechi Iheanacho fails to deliver and Daizen Maeda is unable to rediscover his touch in front of goal, the Hoops could be in trouble, with no real out-and-out goalscorer at the moment.
Injury problems won't make things any easier for Rodgers. But it looks like Celtic could be dealing with quite a few here.
Alistair Johnston is already out injured for the next few months. And now, it looks like Anthony Ralston could potentially be set for a spell on the sidelines as well, leaving the Hoops very light in that area of the pitch. The right-back pulled out of Scotland national duty recently.
CeltsAreHere have put out an image of Anthony Ralston, that was taken today, and it shows the Celtic defender reportedly in a protective boot. The outlet understand that the full extent of the injury is still being assessed, the protective boot is precautionary, but usually it is an indicator of several weeks out.

Even if the protective boot is only precautionary, it is hard to imagine that Ralston will be playing this weekend. That leaves Celtic with only one genuine option at right-back.
Colby Donovan has made a couple of appearances for Celtic recently, coming off the bench on both occasions, and to be honest, he has looked pretty good. So, it might be time for Rodgers to give him a start and see how he copes with the situation.
Another option would be playing Marcelo Sarachhi at right-back. The Uruguayan international left-back was brought in on loan from Boca Juniors as cover for Kieran Tierney but he can play on the opposite flank as well.
