7 Celtic training headlines as Alistair Johnston survives Lundstram lunge and Luis Palma becomes the snapper
Brendan Rodgers' side are preparing to finish the job at Kilmarnock unless Dundee save them the effort with a result at Ibrox.
Just one point needed and it's party time for Celtic.
So no wonder there was a jovial mood in the camp at Lennoxtown as they prepared for the trip down to Kilmarnock. They might not even need that point if Dundee do a job on Rangers at Ibrox 24 hours prior – although Brendan Rodgers won't be watching. Rugby Park, of course, is a venue where the reigning champions have struggled on league and cup duty this season, so nothing is guaranteed if they do require at least a draw.
Killie will be feeling good about themselves as well, having clinched fourth place and a spot in the Europa League qualifiers at the weekend. But Derek McInnes' side will want to spring another surprise on the league leaders and there will be no easing off from them either. There appears to be no lingering casualties from the Rangers game – due to John Lundstram in particular – for Celtic, with Alistair Johnston back on the grass.
Daizen Maeda learned a lesson at the weekend while Luis Palma turned his hand to a different role. Record Sport shares the best images from Celtic's training base.
Say cheese for the champions
The Honduran got to grips with the snappers' equipment at Lennoxtown. The winger will hoping for celebratory shots at Rugby Park on Wednesday night, although Tuesday would do if Dundee can get a result at Ibrox and get the parted started early in Glasgow's East End.

The Canadian seems to be feeling no ill effects after being clattered by the Rangers midfielder in Saturday's derby. It wasn't only the Scouser who departed early thanks to a red card, as Johnston had to be replaced, but seems to be fighting fit for the trip to Ayrshire.
2 of 7Hart-felt goodbye
It's not quite the last dance for Joe Hart, but Wednesday will mark his final Celtic away game. There will of course be a big farewell on Saturday, although the perfect send-off could yet be still to come at Hampden, where Rangers lie in wait in the Scottish Cup Final.

The Celtic boss will sit down in front of the box. But it will be Tottenham striking a balance between trying to beat Man City and not enraging their fans by teeing up the title for Arsenal that will be the focus of attention rather than the game in Govan.
