Brendan Rodgers has revealed James Forrest was back on the training pitch for the first time on Thursday after being sidelined through injury.
The Celtic winger has been out of action since the Scottish League Cup victory over Rangers in December.
Forrest played the match to a conclusion but was then seen sporting a protective cast for a foot issue and ruled out for an initial six weeks.
Rodgers has now revealed Forrest has been back out on the turf at Lennoxtown, albeit still a good few weeks away from a playing return.
"He had his first day out on the pitch yesterday," said Rodgers. "[He's] starting to move and jog. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, he'll be coming back.

"I said that to him [he came alive at this time last season]. I said that to him, 'You know in February or March you came and saved the day.
"He's a brilliant player and made a great contribution at the beginning of the season for us as well.
"He'll be a great addition when he comes back.
"He's nowhere near that [a possible return this week]. He is just planting his foot out on the grass yesterday for the first time.
"It's going to be still a few weeks yet."
