Brendan Rodgers has revealed Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor could make their return to the Celtic first-team this weekend.

The defensive duo have been sidelined through injury in recent weeks and both sat out of the 0-0 draw with Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday.

However, Rodgers has confirmed the pair are back in training and could feature against Motherwell on Saturday in Scottish Premiership action.

"We've got Cam (Carter-Vickers) back training with the squad, which is good news. Greg Taylor as well.

"So we've got one more day to go and then we'll see how they are, but they hopefully will be involved in the game."

On having depth to cope while Taylor and Carter-Vickers were out, Rodgers added: "We like them to be available. I think that's what's important. So it gives us options, which is what you want as a coach.

"But yes, I think obviously the team defensively was outstanding the other night, but to have those two guys back, who are very important players for us, will be good.

Pushed for further clarity on Carter-Vickers' situation, Rodgers said: "Yes, certainly whilst we were away, it was the best he'd felt. So, he's obviously done some training back here.

"We're just being careful and listening to him, really, to not want to force it, really, if it's not right.

"But he looked very good today, and he's been that throughout this week. So, fingers crossed, he comes through tomorrow okay, and then he can be involved in the squad."
