Celtic have posted footage from Lennoxtown training on Friday as the team gear up for the start of the competitive action.

The Hoops open their Premiership campaign at a sold-out Celtic Park on Saturday against Ross County.

It’s been a productive pre-season period for the team under Brendan Rodgers, with a number of exciting matches featuring plenty of goals and performances worth talking about.

Some players have been signed this summer, others have returned from injury, while there is growing speculation about some moving on.

Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Maik Nawrocki seem to cover those three categories so it was encouraging to see all three training on Friday.

Celtic posted a 90 second video from Lennoxtown, and the centre-backs were all visible in training.

With Celtic preparing to receive bids for Starfelt amid mounting interest, it’s encouraging to see that he’s still firmly part of our plans for the County match.

Equally, it’s great that Carter-Vickers and Maik Nawrocki look ready to go after they played together on Tuesday night against Athletic Club.

Also in training were summer signings Odin Thiago Holm, Hyunjun Yang and Hyeokkyu Kwon.

Yesterday, Brendan Rodgers said he hopes some will return “over the course of the next three to four weeks.”
