Celtic nearly have a fully fit squad available to choose from, with Brendan Rodgers having plenty of options to pick.

Brendan Rodgers has told the Telegraph that Patrick Roberts, Jozo Simunovic and Leigh Griffiths have all returned to Celtic training this week.

The trio have all been struggling with injury problems over recent weeks, but they are close to making comebacks now.

Celtic take on Ross County tomorrow at Dingwell, and although that match may come too soon for the returning players to start, Rodgers is hoping to welcome them back soon.

“I see the competitiveness in the players – we have Patrick Roberts, Jozo Simunovic and Leigh Griffiths back training this week,” he said.

Jozo Simunovic of Celtic  celebrates after he scores during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Dundee and Celtic at Dens Park Stadium on March 19, 2017 in Dundee, Scotland.

“They are fit, if not football fit, but the availability is there.”

Celtic’s squad looks even more enviable now Rodgers has all his options available to him.

Celtic are already unbeaten in 63 Scottish domestic matches, with their record breaking run showing no signs of coming to an end any time soon.

Rodgers’ side won the treble during his first season in charge, and they are on course to repeat that feat this time around.

If Celtic can beat Ross County tomorrow, as expected, they could move six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings.
