James Forrest has handed Celtic a major boost as the winger has been declared fit for Sundays' clash against Rangers.
The Scotland winger had a long spell out after ankle surgery this season, then picked up a back and hamstring injury on his return which kept him out of the last two matches.
Forrest excelled since coming back into the team with two goals in four matches and was a huge miss in Celtic's Scottish Cup defeat to Rangers a fortnight ago.
But Parkhead interim boss John Kennedy revealed Forrest is in contention for the last Old Firm game of the season at Ibrox.
The former Celtic defender said: "Yes, James has trained all week. He was just short for the Aberdeen game.
"The benefit of having time since then is that it has given us more training time. He has been good.
"It was nothing too serious, something we could manage easily in-house. Hopefully he picks up where he left off. "
