Celtic boss Neil Lennon admits the side will miss the influence of midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung during January.
The 21-year old, along with teammate Cha Du-Ri, will be on international duty with South Korea for next month's Asian Cup in Qatar and Lennon feels his absence will certainly be noted.
"We will miss his composure, vision and the way he can dictate the game by switching play quickly," Lennon said.
"Ki just needed a wee bit of time to settle in and adapt to the Scottish game.
"Unfortunately we will miss him for a few weeks now."
