Kieran Tierney has given Celtic an injury boost ahead of Saturday’s match with Hamilton Accies.
Last Friday the defender pulled out of the Scotland squad to travel to Albania after failing to shake off a knock picked up on the plastic at Livi.
Alex McLeish commented on how his Celtic contingent had felt a tightness after their visit to the Tony Macaroni which upset Gary Holt.

Celtic are back on plastic again on Saturday when they face Hamilton looking to strengthen their place at the top of the table.
Brendan Rodgers has a number of players coming back from international duty and injury concerns to weigh up for Saturday’s match.
With a Europa League tie in Rosenborg and cup final against Aberdeen coming up Rodgers won’t take any risks against Hamilton but having dropped points in four away matches this season the hoops boss will be determined to take full points off the Lanarkshire side.
