Celtic set to recall Scott Allan after injury

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.
