Moussa Dembele could start tomorrow’s Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen at Hampden.
The 20-year-old hasn’t played since damaging a hamstring in the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Sevco on April 23.
Dembele has resumed full training and will be part of Rodgers’ squad for Hampden.

It won’t be until close to 2pm that it will be known whether or not the former Fulham striker is in the starting XI.
If Dembele comes in from the cold it will be a tough blow for Leigh Griffiths to take after scoring in four of the five post split SPFL fixtures.
Griffiths had a minor fall out with Rodgers after being substituted in the 5-0 win away to Partick Thistle.
It had been assumed that Griffiths would start the match with Dembele in contention for a place on the bench but the 32 goal striker could be in line for a starting place at Hampden.
