Odsonne Edouard is back in training ahead of Celtic’s Europa League play off against Suduva.

The striker has missed the last four matches due to a hamstring knock but took to twitter to celebrate his return.

The former Paris Saint Germain striker started both of Celtic’s Champions League qualifiers against Alashkert alongside Moussa Dembele and looks set to reform that partnership against the Lithuanian champions.

Without Edouard Celtic drew the first leg of the tie 1-1 despite taking an early lead through Olivier Ntcham.

After the disappointment of losing out to AEK Athens in the Champions League reaching the group phase of the Europa League is essential for Celtic’s European ambitions.

Last season Edouard was signed after Celtic secured their place in the group phase of the Champions League, in June his temporary move was converted to a permanent move for a fee reported to be close to £9m.
