Alistair Johnston looks to be on course to be involved in the Celtic squad for the Scottish Cup Final on June 3.
The Canadian has had a massive impact on the hoops since his January 2 debut at Ibrox following his move from Montreal.
A leg injury during the second half of Celtic’s Scottish Cup semi final win looked like it could bring his season to a halt but today he was pictured back in training at Lennoxtown.

Being involved against Hibs tomorrow night looks overly ambitious but with a few days training behind him Johnston could be included in Saturday’s squad to face Aberdeen.
Tony Ralston replaced Johnston in the semi-final but there is little doubt that if the Canadian internationalist is fit he is the first choice right-back for Ange Postecoglou.
Since his injury at Hampden Johnston has been celebrating on crutches with the Celtic support and being mobbed in his car on London Road after the SPFL title clincher at Tynecastle.
