Nir Bitton makes his first appearance since February as Celtic take on Hibs in the Reserve League at Cappielow.
The midfielder suffered a knee injury shortly after the winter break but was expected to be back in action in September.
Getting in 90 minutes for the reserve side before joining in full training in Dubai next month should ensure that Bitton is ready to return to first team action in January.

In their last outing Tommy McIntyre’s side won 4-1 away to Dundee United on December 4.
After six matches the young hoops have collected 12 points with nine of them collected in their three home matches without losing a single goal.
The next scheduled league game is against Partick Thistle on January 29 although there is a Glasgow Cup tie against Queens Park on Friday night at Lesser Hampden with that tournament now competed for at u-20 age level.
