Celtic set to recall Scott Allan after injury

25 September 2015 10:28

Scott Allan looks set to return to the Celtic squad for the Scottish Premiership clash with Hearts at Parkhead on Saturday.

The midfielder began training again after recovering from a knock and will be assessed, as will defender Jozo Simunovic who had a twisted ankle and midfielder Stuart Armstrong (back).

Striker Leigh Griffiths missed the 2-0 Scottish League Cup win over Raith Rovers on Wednesday night with an ongoing calf issue but will return, but utility player Charlie Mulgrew remains out with a thigh problem which looks likely to rule him out of Scotland's European Championship qualifying double-header next month.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Lustig, Blackett, Boyata, Simunovic, Izaguirre, Ambrose, Allan, Johansen, Bitton, Brown, Forrest, Rogic, Commons, Mackay-Steven, Ciftci, Griffiths, Stokes, Janko, MacGregor, Bailly.
