Celtic captain Callum McGregor has revealed he is aiming to take part in training with his team-mates Down Under as he steps up his return bid from injury.
The 29-year-old hasn't played since suffering a knee injury against RB Leipzig in October but initial fears over a potential season-ending injury were allayed after a scan. And now McGregor is using the trip to Australia for the Sydney Super Cup to strengthen his comeback before the Scottish Premiership on December 17 against Aberdeen.
And McGregor can't wait to be out there with his team-mates again. Speaking to Celtic TV, he said: "Hopefully I will be joining bits of the sessions this week and just progressing the rehab. It will be an important five, six days for me as well. I am looking forward to getting back on the grass with the boys." Celtic face Sydney and Everton in the coming days and McGregor is adamant the Premiership champions will be giving it everything as Ange Postecoglou returns home and punters in Australia get the chance to see their heroes up close and personal.
He added: "More of the same, we understand the way we want to play. I'm sure the gaffer will be keen for us to put on a good show coming back to his home country. He will be putting pressure on the lads to make sure they are performing well. Good football, good intensity and want to have two victories as well.
"These guys get up in the middle of the night to watch the games and this is an opportunity to see us live and it's important we don't disappoint. We show them the best of ourselves and put on a good show for them."
