Stephen Welsh returns to Celtic and was immediately thrown into first-team training at Lennoxtown.
The Celtic defender was recalled from Motherwell as Martin O’Neill looked to improve his defensive options.
Welsh’s time at Motherwell was a fruitful one as the Celtic star became an integral part of Jens Berthel Askou’s first-team plans.
Should Martin O’Neill start Stephen Welsh against Falkirk?
However, Martin O’Neill recalled the defender and Welsh was immediately thrown into an intense training session at Lennoxtown.
And the footage Celtic released offers a big clue on how the 25-year-old is feeling about his sudden Parkhead return.
Stephen Welsh appears happy to be back at Celtic
Welsh had made 17 appearances for Motherwell this season which is one more than he had over the last two at Celtic.
So fans could forgive Welsh for feeling hard done by for Celtic taking him away from a club where he was integral to their starting line-up.
Now back at the club where he began his career, Lennoxtown footage offers a big clue on how the defender really feels about being back at Celtic.
You can see Welsh working hard, getting involved in drills, smiling and looking genuinely happy to be involved at Celtic again.
Will Stephen Welsh feature for Celtic this season?
It looks unlikely as Auston Trusty and Liam Scales are both combining again to perform a good partnership in the heart of the Hoops defence.
O’Neill has already suggested that Welsh could return to Motherwell before the January transfer window closes again.
So that begs the question, why recall him in the first place? What was the purpose of it?
It’s just another chapter in what is now shaping up to be another strange transfer window in the world of Celtic.
