Kieran Tierney has returned to training at Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers ’ defensive superkid has been out for six weeks after sustaining serious ankle ligament damage and undergoing surgery.

Tierney also had a long-term shoulder issue resolved but is on the mend and gave the club a big boost by getting back out onto the training pitch at Lennoxtown ahead of tomorrow night’s clash with Hamilton.

Part one of the 19-year-old’s rehabilitation is complete but Celtic have confirmed the left-back is still unlikely to reappear until after the mid-season break.

Tierney was involved in light training and spent part of the morning running with Scott Allan, who has returned to Celtic after an unsuccessful loan spell at Rotherham.

Midfielder Allan made only nine appearances for the Championship strugglers, with his last appearance coming back in October.
