Several first-team Celtic stars have returned to training, as new recruit Benjamin Nygren joined his new teammates for the first time.
The versatile Swedish attacker made the switch to Parkhead last week from Danish top-flight outfit Nordsjaelland.
He didn't feature as his new club defeated Queen's Park by a goal to nil on Friday evening.

Celtic take on Cork City in their second pre-season friendly on Tuesday, although Brendan Rodgers confirmed post-match on Friday that it will come too soon for the likes of Tierney, Nygren and Hatate.
He said: "We will train and travel on Monday. The guys who have just come back probably won't be involved in the Tuesday game, it's just too soon.
"But they will be involved next Saturday when we play in Portugal but they will all be there and ready for the game."
On taking Celtic to Ireland for the friendly, Rodgers added: "It's always a privilege to take Celtic anywhere.
"To go to Ireland with Celtic is always really special.
"We look forward to seeing our friends over there and having a really good game."
