After enjoying a heroes welcome back in Brussels the defender enjoyed a brief holiday in Greece then rejoined his team-mates today at Lennoxtown.

Running in tandem with his return is the question of his contract which runs until June next year.
Brendan Rodgers first discussed a new deal last December but following three appearances at the World Cup Finals in Russia the former Manchester City is in demand.
Although Celtic are currently short of options in central defensive it’s unlikely that Boyata will be back in action before the visit to Hearts on August 11.
Jack Hendry and Kris Ajer will continue as Celtic’s central defensive partnership tomorrow night against Rosenborg.
