The 26-year-old is on the brink of returning to action for Celtic.

Celtic's Dedryck Boyata celebrates winning the William Hill Scottish Cup Final between Aberdeen and Celtic at Hampden Park on May 27, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Earlier on Monday, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed the “great news” of Dedryck Boyata’s imminent return to first-team duties.

The Belgian centre-back will be named in a Celtic squad for the first time in two months this week when Rodgers’s side visit Dundee in a quarter-final League Cup clash.

Boyata, a big player for the Hoops during the second half of last term, has been a mere spectator so far this season as a result of a knee injury suffered in July.
