Celtic Receives Boost Ahead of Dundee Clash

Celtic has been handed a rare boost as a key player returns to training ahead of schedule before their match against Dundee.

Brendan Rodgers has received positive injury news during the international break, with right-back Alistair Johnston spotted back in training.

The Hoops may be without Daizen Maeda and Sebastian Tounekti for the trip to Dens Park, but Maeda's late winner against Motherwell last time out ensured they kept within two points of league leaders Hearts.

Despite an unconvincing start to the season, Celtic looks to keep pace with Hearts, amidst protests against the board and speculation about Rodgers' future.

Rodgers has been left concerned by the injuries of stars Maeda and Tounekti during the international break.
