Celtic winger James Forrest has returned to training after a long injury lay-off.

Neil Lennon said the 29-year-old’s return would represent a “welcome boost” for his side, who currently trail league leaders Rangers by 21 points.

It has been more than four months since the Scotland international last played.

However, Wednesday night’s game against St Mirren will come to early for Forrest.

Lennon said: “James Forrest is back in training but obviously tomorrow night is too soon for him. So that’s a welcome boost to the squad.

“Shane Duffy had a bit of a bug in the last couple of days but trained today so he should be available for selection. Ryan Christie is fit and back in the squad as well.”
