Olivier Ntcham and Kieran Tierney were pictured back in training today.
With four new additions to the injured list- Mikael Lustig, James Forrest, Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie- from yesterday’s bruising battle with St Johnstone the return of two medium term absentees was a welcome sight for Brendan Rodgers.
Ntcham hasn’t appeared since the Glasgow derby on December 29 while Tierney’s last match was in the Europa League tie against RB Salzburg on December 13.

How ready either player is for first team action isn’t clear with the February fixture list unrelenting.
Celtic face eight matches in 24 days as they feature in three different competitions with the immediate focus on Wednesday’s SPFL clash with Hibs.
Maintaining the 100% record of 2019 will be essential as the second and third placed teams meet at Pittodrie at the same time.
On Sunday the St Johnstone trilogy comes to a halt with a Scottish Cup tie before Valencia come calling in the Europa League.
