Celtic has been handed a rare boost as a key player returns to training ahead of schedule before their match against Dundee.
Brendan Rodgers received positive injury news during the international break, with right-back Alistair Johnston spotted back in training.
The Hoops may still be without Daizen Maeda and Sebastian Tounekti for the trip to Dens Park, as they look to keep pace with Hearts at the top of the table.
Maeda previously scored a late winner for Celtic against Motherwell, ensuring they stayed within two points of the league leaders.
Celtic's unconvincing start to the season has led to speculation about Rodgers' future and fan protests against the board.
Despite concerns over Maeda and Tounekti, Johnston's return to training is a welcome boost for Rodgers.
