Karamoko Dembele trained with Celtic's first-team ahead of tomorrow evening's Europa League clash with Cluj in Romania.
The Hoops lead Group E having already qualified for the knockout stages.
Their opponents, however, need to match rivals Lazio's scoreline to make it into the last 32.

With a heavy fixture list approaching with a run of festive games, manager Neil Lennon could perhaps hand starts - or places on the subs bench - for fringe players and those needing game time.
Dembele, 16, made his first-team debut last season against Hearts and looked likely to feature this season before he picked up a knock which ruled him out for a handful of weeks.

However, images shared on social media by Celtic's official Twitter account showed the young winger playing with the likes of Moritz Bauer and Vakoun Bayo on the Barrowfield training pitch.
Bayo is another who may feature ahead of Odsonne Edouard who continues to search for full fitness.
Neil Lennon has already confirmed that Leigh Griffiths will be involved.
