Olivier Ntcham is available for Celtic’s match at Hamilton on Saturday.

The midfielder picked up a hamstring injury during the Betfred Cup semi-final win over Hearts at Murrayfield and has missed Celtic’s last four matches.

During the international break he also missed a call up to the French u-21 squad but has resumed full training and is available for Celtic’s hectic schedule of games leading up to the January break.

Asked about the former Manchester City man Rodgers told Celtic TV: “He has been back in training so he should be available for the squad at the weekend.”

Ryan Christie replaced Ntcham at Murrayfield, turned that game around and relaunched his Celtic career.

Growing in confidence on a game by game basis he earned himself a new three year contract at Celtic then helped Scotland to wins over Albania and Israel.

With Ntcham back in the mix and Scott Brown close to full fitness Rodgers will have some very big decisions to make for the Betfred Cup Final against Aberdeen a week on Sunday.
