Filip Benkovic, Mikey Johnston and Kris Ajer have all been pictured in training at Lennoxtown.
After a run of bad news on the injury front the sight of that trio back in action provides Brendan Rodgers with a welcome boost.
Benkovic missed Thursday’s Europa League defeat against RB Leipzig but looks like being available to play alongside Jack Hendry in central defence against Hearts at Murrayfield.

Johnston and Ajer have both been missing due to hamstring injuries but look as if they aren’t far away from fitness although they are unlikely to be involved on Sunday.
Tom Rogic seems to be the main injury question mark with the availability of the Australian vital to Celtic’s prospects.
Against St Johnstone and Hibs the midfielder was instrumental as Celtic rattled in 10 league goals- more than they had managed in the previous seven matches.
