Callum McGregor appeared to be back in full training this morning- even practicing his goal scoring celebration!
The midfielder has missed Celtic’s last four matches since suffering a calf strain during the Europa League KO from Valencia.
With Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham and Ryan Christie also out injured Neil Lennon has had restricted options in midfield with Nir Bitton and Ewan Henderson drafted in from the cold.

Before his injury McGregor had played in more matches than any other top flight player in Europe this season with the first of 54 appearances taking place in Armenia against Alashkert in July.
Celtic go to Sunday looking for their third win of the season over the relegation strugglers to take at least an eight point advantage into the international break.
McGregor has been named in the Scotland squad but Celtic may ask for him to be left out of the match against Kazakhstan which will be played on a plastic pitch.
