Slowly but surely Brendan Rodgers is getting his first team squad back to full fitness.

Against Ross County on Saturday Moussa Dembele started his first match of the season with the young striker now clear of his hamstring problems.

With Odsonne Edouard signed on loan from Paris Saint Germain Rodgers now has three fully fit strikers to choose from.

Central defence has been more of a problem with Dedryck Boyata and Erik Sviatchenko both posted missing from the Champions League qualifiers.

The Belgian could return to action against Dundee on Wednesday night but Rodgers will be wary of pushing things ahead.

With three away matches coming up in three different competitions the Irishman will require his full squad over the next fortnight.

Three wins would put the hoops into a very strong position although two domestic wins and a draw away to Anderlecht would be just as welcome for the Celtic support.
