Brendan Rodgers has admitted Nicolas Kuhn is carrying a slight injury issue.
The winger is included in the Celtic matchday squad against St Mirren but is only fit enough for a spot on the bench.
Kuhn only completed some light jogging this week before ramping up his intensity ahead of the weekend.
Rodgers told Sky Sports: "He hasn't trained all week. He has a slight issue with his back.
"He has done some gentle jogging and then increased his level yesterday.
"He wasn't fit enough to start the game, we feel but I'm sure at some point today he will make an impact."

Rodgers added: "It's a great opportunity for Adam Idah.
"Kyogo hasn't trained either really apart from the latter part of the week.
"I felt this was a game - and you see the physicality of St Mirren's line-up - a good game for Adam to start in and get his legs going again.
"He is a little bit behind his team-mates in fitness but he will get that over the course of the next few weeks and give everything to the game."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
