Simunovic had earlier posted a photo of himself after undergoing knee surgery.
But, according to BBC Sport, the 25-year-old is expected to miss weeks rather than months.
Tierney has also struggled for fitness this season, with a hip problem having prevented him from making his Arsenal debut.
Celtic still have Kristoffer Ajer, Christopher Jullien, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Jack Hendry capable of covering for Simunovic.
