Celtic are able to welcome Leigh Griffiths back after an extended absence.
Celtic will be busy preparing for Sunday’s Old Firm derby with Rangers, with the international break coming to an end.
Many Bhoys players have been off playing for their countries but will return to face Rangers in a game which could all but clinch the Scottish Premiership title.
Celtic have been given another added boost ahead of the game, with the return of Leigh Griffiths to the club following a three month absence.
The Celtic striker took a break from the game in December for personal reasons, with Griffiths’ return unknown when he decided to step away from football.
Now, three months on, Celtic have tonight confirmed that Griffiths is returning to the club’s Lennoxtown training ground for fitness and performance work.
The 28-year-old has been a key player for Celtic for the past five years, smashing 104 goals in 198 games for the Bhoys since signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It was now-Celtic boss Neil Lennon who signed Griffiths, and his return to the club will be a major boost given a lack of striking options at Lennon’s disposal.
An instant return seems unlikely after three months out, meaning it may be a while until we see Griffiths in a Celtic shirt again, but Bhoys fans have suggested that it’s perfect timing for Griffiths to feature against Rangers on Sunday.
Others are simply glad to see Griffiths back from his problems, which is the most important thing right now ahead of his return to the pitch.
