Scott Brown, Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton return to training

Celtic are starting to get players back fit and healthy, just in time for the busy winter period.

Speaking at his press conference today ahead of Celtic’s trip to face Hamilton on Saturday, manager Brendan Rodgers revealed that three players; Scott Brown, Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton; had returned to training after their injury layoffs.

Brown has been out of action since late October with a knee injury whilst Griffiths has been out for a similar length of time with a knee issue of his own.

Nir Bitton has been out for about nine months with a more serious knee injury and he can’t wait to get back into action for Celtic

Celtic have a run coming up in which they’ll play a staggering 11 games in just over a month and as such, having three more players ready to contribute will be a welcome boost for Brendan Rodgers/
