Adam Montgomery was spotted back in Celtic training this afternoon.

The full-back, 20, had spent the first half of the season on loan at St Johnstone.

Montgomery played 17 times for the Perth outfit during his stint away from Celtic.

He had signed on loan until January - and was back at Celtic training with the first-team this afternoon.

Eagle-eyed supporters spotted Montgomery training in the club 'Lennoxtown Unfiltered' Celtic TV piece.

It's raised questions over where Montgomery will play in the second half of the season, with St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson not ruling out an approach to extend the loan.

Speaking last month, Davidson told The Courier: “I wouldn’t rule it out is probably the best phrase to use. Adam has performed well, which I’m really pleased about. He’s got better and better.

“We’ve got Callum (Booth) coming back – hopefully he’ll play his first 90 minutes (in a midweek closed-doors game) and we’ve got Tony (Gallacher) back as well.

“So we are quite strong in the area. We need to assess everything, see where we are with each player and make a decision after that – and obviously, speak to Celtic because it might be a ‘no’ anyway.”

Davidson added: "I’ve spoken to John (Celtic assistant manager, John Kennedy). They’ve been happy and just let us get on with it, really.

“He’s played games. We’d have had more phone calls if he hadn’t been playing. Adam’s managed to pick himself for the team because of his performances. It’s not me playing him because he’s a Celtic player.

“His attitude in training and around the place has been first class. The young man has got a big future. Hopefully he’ll go far.

“There’s obviously a conversation we’ll need to have. We haven’t spoken to them before the game this week. It’s something we can speak about after and see where we are about it.”
