Yosuke Guchi will be involved in the Celtic squad for Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie against Raith Rovers.
The midfielder made his first start for the hoops in the previous round at Alloa but had his game cut short by a brutal attack on his ankle by Mouhamed Niang.
Don Robertson decided that the attack was only worth a yellow, that was upgraded to a red by the SFA but that wasn’t much consolation to Guchi as he nursed a badly damaged ankle.
Ange Postecoglou confirms the squad came through Aberdeen fine.

Postecoglou is likely to change as many as six players from the side that beat Aberdeen on Wednesday night as he keeps his squad fresh after the injury issues, mainly muscular, in the first half of the season.
Callum McGregor has played the last three matches with a protective mask, bearing in mind his injury and workload over the last few seasons it wouldn’t be a huge surprise of he started Sunday’s match on the bench with Guchi going into his defensive midfield role.
