Scott Sinclair is set to make his return to action on Saturday against Dundee.
The former Aston Villa man injured his hamstring against Barcelona on November 23 but is now set to give Brendan Rodgers side a festive boost by returning to action.
Celtic have continued their winning ways despite the absence of Sinclair but with five matches to be faced before the winter break his return will be timely.
Despite missing almost a month of the season Sinclair remains at the top of the Premiership scoring charts with nine goals, the same figure as Liam Boyce of Ross County.

JK: “Been out with a period with a hamstring, though, so we have to be cautious. He has trained and could be available.” (MH)

Rodgers is certain to continue rotating his squad for the visit of Dundee after making two changes to the team that beat Partick Thistle for the win over Hamilton.
One enforced change is the suspension of Scott Brown with Callum McGregor expected to partner Stuart Armstrong in the centre of the park.
