The midfield player missed last weekend’s loss against Hearts after being replaced at halftime in the 7-1 victory over Dundee.

Brendan Rodgers has ruled out Celtic’s two home games before the international break, so the team’s March 31 trip to Livingston is being pencilled in lightly for his comeback.

How is Callum McGregor after his scan?

Inconclusive really. I think we had it in our mind anyway that he would miss through to the international break and then take it from there. He travelled for the scan but nothing really showed up in that so much. We will assess it in the next couple of weeks. We just have to see how that feels on a day-to-day basis.

Paulo Bernardo came in for McGregor against Hearts, he was replaced at half time by Kyogo Furuhashi with Daniel Kelly finishing the match alongside Matt O’Riley.

Odin Thiago Holm is the other midfield option open to Rodgers but without McGregor and Reo Hatate the Celtic boss is very short on options for that area of the park.

Bringing the captain back to play on the plastic pitch of Livingston would carry an element of risk, the fixture following that is at Ibrox.
