Celtic favourite Kieran Tierney has been sidelined with a calf problem, but could now face Rangers.
Celtic have been handed a huge Old Firm derby boost by fan favourite Kieran Tierney after the young defender finally returned to training ahead of the Hoops’ Scottish Cup semi-final clash against Rangers.
The 20-year-old left-back has missed the Bhoys’ last three Scottish Premiership matches due to a calf problem, which has seen Callum McGregor play on the left side of defence in his absence.
Tierney, who continues to attract interest from down south, has been in excellent form for Celtic once again this season, scoring four goals and providing nine assists from defence in his 48 league and cup outings.
Celtic posted a picture of Tierney in training after finally recovering from the muscle problem that has prevented him from featuring since the 3-2 win over Rangers in March.
Though it may be a tad early for the Scotland international to feature against Hamilton on Sunday, Tierney should be fit for the trip to Hampden Park next weekend as Celtic eye a treble by progressing to the final and beating rivals Rangers.
A win against Martin Canning’s Hamilton could see Celtic open up a huge 12-point gap on the rest of their Scottish Premiership rivals, and inch closer to another title.
