Gavin Strachan took his second pre match press conference of the season and gave an indication on when the Hoops fans can expect to see the full first team on the pitch and management team in the dugout.

Celtic will still filed a skeleton team for the home game against Livingston at Celtic Park tomorrow but the good news is that there are no new COVID-19 cases as a result of Julliens positive test.

Speaking to the media, Strachan said, “As I understand it, I think it is Monday that they (Lennon and Kennedy) are back in.

“We have some guys back in on Sunday, and some back in on Monday, as I understand it.

“They will be assessed in terms of their fitness because they have been off for a little while but they should be available for selection.

“Everyone that was involved on Monday against Hibs and who was in here (Lennoxtown) training during the week have all returned negative tests.”

Scott Robertson is back in. His loan at Gillingham has been ended so he has come back into the fold.

“He is another one, good player, good character, who has come back in.

“He is still a young lad but he played nearly 20 games for Gillingham so he is primed and ready to go.
