Celtic will win the Scottish Premiership title if they beat Hearts on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
The Hoops have the chance to be crowned champions for the sixth season in a row, and win the second part of a potential treble, with a Scottish Cup semi-final to come against Rangers on April 23.
Celtic have won 27 of 29 league matches this season and have the chance to become the first unbeaten champions since Rangers in 1899.
"'It will be a huge honour for me in taking the club in my first year here to the title," said manager Brendan Rodgers.
"We were coming off the back of five titles before that. Neil (Lennon) and Ronny (Deila) did fantastic jobs and of course we wanted to continue with that.
"When I came in, I said my job was to win it in the best way we possibly could. There are different ways to win. People will tell you that you can win something and it not being the same feeling. To win and foster the spirit throughout the whole football club can make it really special, along with the way we have played football.
"For me, to share that with the players, the coaching staff and everyone at the club, making everyone a champion will be very special."
Rodgers will assess a number of players who have reported back from international duty this week before naming his squad.
In particular he will be monitoring Leigh Griffiths who was forced off in Scotland's World Cup Qualifier against Slovenia with a back problem.
Tom Rogic is making good progress in his recovery from an ankle injury but, having not played since mid-December, he will not be risked.
Hearts' Aaron Hughes has missed four games with a calf injury and boss Ian Cathro said he was "still managing a complicated muscle situation".
Long-term injury victims John Souttar (Achilles) and Callum Paterson (knee) remain on the sidelines.
