Celtic receive double injury boost but Jota training clue emerges ahead of Shakhtar

Celtic have received a double injury boost with Carl Starfelt and David Turnbull back in full training ahead of the clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.

And Jota was also back in the fold but Sky Sports claim the winger was training separately from the main group during their final session ahead of the Champions League clash. However, it's good news for Celtic regarding the Swedish defender with the stopper absent since limping off against Rangers in the 4-0 win in September.

But he and Turnbull appear primed and ready for an imminent return as they took part in the full session on a misty day in the rolling hills of Lennoxtown. Jota appears to have a bigger fight to make it as he appeared focused on building up his fitness rather than staking a claim for the clash with Shakhtar. Ange Postcoglou hasn't had his injury problems to seek but it's good news for the Celtic boss with Callum McGregor now the only long-term absentee.
