Moussa Dembele is fighting fit for Celtic’s hectic December fixture list.
Six matches before the end of the month will have a major bearing on the title race with home matches against Aberdeen and Sevco providing the opportunity to put real daylight between the other challengers.
Dembele missed the start of the season due to a hamstring strain then looked to have suffered a serious ankle injury in the Betfred Cup semi-final against Motherwell.
Odsonne Edouard has emerged as a contender for a striking place over the last fortnight but there’s little doubt that a fully fit Dembele would be the first choice for Brendan Rodgers.
???? MD: “I feel good. It was tough at the beginning of the season with injuries and being out. I feel good and I’m back in the team so it’s all positive.”

More from Moussa online soon.

Dembele was a second half substitute away to Hibs as Celtic were pegged back to share the points with Neil Lennon’s side.
The hoops are back in business on Wednesday night when they host Hamilton with four of the remaining six December fixtures coming at home.
