Brendan Rodgers has revealed Adam Idah could return for Celtic against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League.
The striker has travelled with the squad to Kazakhstan for the second leg of the play-off round tie despite sitting out of the weekend win over Livingston.
Idah had been sidelined with a knee problem but could feature tomorrow night against Kairat as Celtic aim to reach the league phase of the Champions League.
"Adam Idah is struggling with his knee," Rodgers had said last week. "Auston Trusty could be out for a bit with a plantar fascia issue that he's had."
However, Idah has made a quickfire recovery with Rodgers suggesting he could play against Kairat tomorrow night.
In his pre-match press conference on Monday, the Celtic boss said: "We're pretty much the same as the weekend.
"Adam has travelled, he wasn't available at the weekend.

"But other than that, pretty much the same. Auston [Trusty] obviously hasn't made it but in the main, the same squad as the weekend."
Trusty remains out of contention due to the plantar fascia injury struggle.
Alistair Johnston will miss the play-off round second leg too through the hamstring issue he suffered at Celtic Park in the goalless first leg.
Rodgers issued a 12-week timeline for his return in his press conference last week.
With Idah back in the mix, Rodgers has admitted he has a decision on his hands over his starting striker after Shin Yamada started against Livingston with Johnny Kenny scoring off the bench.
As reported by the Daily Record, Rodgers said: "Yeah, I think one, just making sure fitness-wise that he's okay.
"But I think availability is what you want as a coach and a manager and that gives you options within the game whether it's to start or change from within."
