Brendan Rodgers expects to have Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths available for selection to face Motherwell on February 18.
Both players have been missing since the January 29 win over Hearts but should be available just as the season reaches a critical stage.

The return of Griffiths and Armstrong is a timely boost on the day that Rodgers announced that Tom Rogic could be out of action for a couple of months.
Earlier this week the midfielder had an operation on a foot injury that occurred in training as he was completing his rehab for a previous injury.
Armstrong’s return provides a direct replacement for Rogic although his best run of form has been playing in a deeper position alongside Scott Brown.
After starting last week’s win against St Johnstone on the bench Moussa Dembele will be given a starting place as the hoops look to see off Inverness Caley Thistle to reach the last eight of the Scottish Cup.
