At 11.21 today, just over 48 hours before kick-off Celtic posted a picture of Callum McGregor back in training.
It was only a walking image which can be interpreted in various ways but it is the first indicator that the club captain is on course to be involved at Ibrox on Sunday.
McGregor hasn’t played since being substituted at half-time on February 28 during the 7-1 win over Livingston.
An issue with a calf and Achilles has ruled him out of the four Celtic matches since then as well as Scotland’s March friendlies.
McGregor & hatate masterclass at ibrox incoming

How match fit he is is the next question, Brendan Rodgers hosts a media conference at lunchtime today but is unlikely to give away too much.
With Reo Hatate starting against Livingston last week the Celtic boss has some big decisions to make over his midfield for Sunday’s 12 noon kick off.
A better looking image, looking far more involved in training.https://t.co/xA2vCq1YrV
