Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Leigh Griffiths has returned to training.
The Scotland international is now in contention for a starting spot as the Hoops go up against Midtjylland in the Champions League tomorrow.
Griffiths had been sent home from Celtic's training camp in Wales following claims that he had sent inappropriate messages to two schoolgirls on social media.
The 30-year-old has since been cleared and his manager has revealed that he is now back training with the squad.
Ahead of the visit of Danish side Midtjylland, Postecoglou said: “He is ready to go. I think I said before the whole process with Leigh was pretty simple for me.
“Obviously with regard to the incident other people took control of that investigation and from what I understand everything has been sorted in terms of understanding what took place.
“From then he was made available and that’s when he came back into my consciousness as a footballer.
“And I am not the kind who absolves himself of responsibility of things but with a limit of 24 hours every day and the amount if things I need to concentrate on, I decided that I will concentrate on the things I can control.
“And once Leigh came back into the squad and everything was settled in terms of the incident then he is back being a Celtic player, back as part of the squad and available for selection tomorrow.”
