Brendan Rodgers could have Moussa Dembele and Dedryck Boyata back in his side to face Ross County on Saturday.
Apart from a 20 minute run for Dembele away to Linfield two months ago neither player has made a contribution to Celtic’s season.
Rodgers resisted the temptation to rush either player back to face Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday but would like to have both available for the matches against Sevco and Anderlecht.
???? BR on @MDembele_10: “Moussa looks good. He’s been training now for a few weeks. He’ll be in the squad.”

???? BR on Dedryck Boyata: “We’ll assess over the next 24 hours whether he’s going to be available or not.”
More soon online and on @CelticTV.

Boyata suffered a knee injury in the pre-season match against Sparta Prague while Dembele had a recurrence of the hamstring injury that saw him miss the final month of last season.
Leigh Griffiths has been forced to carry the striking burden until the arrival of Odsonne Edouard while Nir Bitton, Kristoffer Ajer and Mikael Lustig have covered in defence.
After the midweek defeat from PSG Rodgers is expected to make a number of changes to his side to meet Ross County.
