Celtic have been handed a triple boost with Odsonne Edouard, Nir Bitton and Hatem Elhamed all training this week ahead of their side's Lille clash.
The trio were all hit with Covid-19 in recent weeks, missing big games against Rangers, AC Milan and Aberdeen within the past seven days. And with the fixtures not going Celtic's way, fans and management staff will be pleased - relieved, perhaps - to have their big players back.
#UEL mode 🔛

All three were pictured getting ready in training alongside the rest of the squad as they prepare to jet out to France to square-off with Lille in Europa League action this Thursday.
Posting snaps on social media, the club wrote: "#UEL mode on. The Bhoys train at Paradise ahead of today's flight to France..."
Edouard has been in Glasgow since before the Rangers derby but has not been declared fit after being struck down with coronavirus on international duty with France under-21s. Israeli pair Bitton and Elhamed were also rocked on country duty.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
