Cameron Carter-Vickers has returned to Celtic training ahead of the Champions League showdown against Atalanta.
The defender, 26, had been sidelined through injury and missed the loss to Borussia Dortmund last time out in the competition.
Carter-Vickers is thought to be back amongst his team-mates ahead of the fixture in Bergamo, Italy on Wednesday.

In a recent press conference this month, Rodgers said of Carter-Vickers: "I think what we're conscious of with Cam is that he had a wee bit last season where he was in and out.
"Even though it's a totally different injury this time it's one where we were told at that time it could have been anywhere between two and three months but we're just not wanting to push him back in too early which might then set him back. So he's doing really well.
"He still has discomfort there. It's not as bad as it was for the Bratislava game. We don't think he's too far away from being where he wants to be.
"So we're just trying to manage that and just react to each day he trains to see what the after-effects are."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
