Mikey Johnston, Kris Ajer, Ryan Christie and Vakoun Bayo were all pictured in training this morning ahead of Celtic’s trip to Kilmarnock tomorrow.
Christie remains suspended for ‘SFA brutality’ for two more matches but the return of three players who missed Saturday’s win over Partick Thistle is a welcome boost for Neil Lennon.
With Nir Bitton suffering a hamstring injury at Firhill the sight of Ajer will be especially welcome with Jozo Simunovic only playing once on plastic since joining Celtic.

Moi Eyounoussi, Hatem Abd Elhamed and James Forrest were missing from training with all three in different stages of their rehab.
Against Thistle Lennon went with two strikers for the first time this season with Tom Rogic also making the starting XI.
Kilmarnock go into the match on something of a high after beating Queens Park 6-0 on Saturday with Alex Dyer in charge of the Ayrshire side until the end of the season.
