Craig Gordon has admitted that he feared that he was facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
A freak collision with Efe Ambrose at the end of January left the keeper with knee ligament damage and gloomy predictions about a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
This season looked like being a write off with the added prospect of Celtic spending big on a goalkeeper rather than wait for a 35-year-old to recover from injury.
????? CG: “It was great to get back only nine and a half weeks after the injury which looked to be at the time, after the scans, a lot longer than that.”

Scott Bain has added a new dimension to Celtic’s goalkeeping position with the on loan Dundee keeper showing his ability and nerve during the 3-2 win at Ibrox.
Brendan Rodgers will have both keepers available for Sunday’s visit to Hamilton where the plastic pitch may be a factor in deciding who starts as the hoops chase down their seventh successive title win.
There was no rustiness about Gordon last night with the former Sunderland keeper almost certain to be in goals when Celtic take on Sevco at Hampden.
