CELTIC captain Callum McGregor is ready to make his comeback from injury, according to reports.

The Parkhead skipper has been sidelined for two months with a knee problem after suffering the knock against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

McGregor had been pictured in a knee brace travelling to see a specialist on the injury before a significant rehab period.

Ange Postecoglou had been braced to be without McGregor until after the World Cup break after the major injury blow.

He previously stated: "Initial reports suggest that he’ll (McGregor) probably be out until after the break at this stage.

“I haven’t got the final report but he’ll miss the next three or four weeks which will put him out until after the break.”

Now, The Scottish Sun report McGregor has returned to fitness and set to feature in a friendly against Rennes later this month.

Celtic will head to Portugal to take on the French side during the break with warm-weather training camp ramping up preparations for the return to domestic action.

And McGregor will reportedly be given his comeback during the trip in the friendly fixture announced by the Ligue 1 side for December 10.

Reports go on to suggest McGregor will be prepared for his domestic return in the first Scottish Premiership round of fixtures after the World Cup.

For Celtic, that means they'll have their captain available for selection for the trip to Pittodrie on December 17.

McGregor and Co were handed a period of time off after the journey to Australia to compete in the Sydney Super Cup. But they'll head back into training tomorrow.

It comes as Celtic have reportedly joined the transfer chase to sign South Korea striker Cho Gue-sung.

It's claimed Parkhead chiefs are interested in a move for the World Cup star who scored a headed double against Ghana for his country.

A report states Gue-sung is wanted by a host of European clubs in the upcoming January window.
