Hinkel steps up rehabilitation
Celtic defender Andreas Hinkel has returned to Scotland as he steps up his rehabilitation after a serious knee injury.
Hinkel was ruled out for the rest of the season when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in training last August.
He required surgery before spending several months in his native Germany under the care of the national team doctor.
Although a comeback is still a long way off, the 28-year-old has started running again and is pleased to be back among his team-mates.
"My progress has been perfect so far so it's been really good," said Hinkel. "There have been no complications and I am very happy to be back here in Scotland, seeing all the lads again.
"Now I'm at the stage where I can do more. I started to run last Monday, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now."
