Celtic midfielder Alan Thompson is struggling with an inflamed toe and will be given a fitness test on Saturday morning.
But winger Didier Agathe has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
Manager Martin O'Neill must shuffle his pack to accomodate the loss of Agathe and he may be tempted to make further changes after Tuesday's hard-fought Champions League draw with Bayern Munich.
Defenders Johan Mjallby and Joos Valgaeren may be in line for a start against the Premier League's bottom side after long periods out through injury.
Partick Thistle are still struggling with a host of injury problems ahead of the daunting trip across town to Celtic Park.
Andy Thomson (knee), Ian Ross (toe), Ricky Waddell (knee), Stephane Bonnes (hamstring) and David Rowson (medial ligament) are all out.
David Lilley is still suspended and the Jags are waiting on tests on one or two other unnamed injuries before finalising their squad.
