Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has shared encouraging news regarding the fitness of several key players, including captain Callum McGregor.
It's a huge week for the Hoops as they host Dundee at Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday before the attention turns towards a Premier Sports Cup semi-final clash with Aberdeen three days later.
McGregor missed Celtic's recent 3-0 rout of Motherwell due to a minor injury, but Rodgers is confident the experienced midfielder will be able to play his part throughout this upcoming double-header.
In addition to McGregor, Rodgers addressed the situation of striker Adam Idah, whose availability remains uncertain as he continues to wear a protective boot after being on the end of Liam Gordon's red card worthy challenge against Motherwell.
The Celtic boss described Idah's condition as a "wait and see" scenario but expressed hope that the summer signing has not sustained any serious damage.
Carter-Vickers, who had been absent since the 5-1 win UEFA Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava on September 18, made a welcome return to the pitch, gaining valuable match minutes at Fir Park.
While Taylor, whose last appearance was almost a month ago, remained an unused substitute.

"We obviously got through the game yesterday with a really good performance and result," the Northern Irishman told Celtic TV.
"We are analysing and looking at one or two of the guys that had some knocks.
"Callum [McGregor], we are just waiting to hear back. But we think that is good news with him. Adam Idah was on the end of a poor challenge. We just have to wait and see. He's still got his foot in a boot at the moment but we are hoping he has got away with that.
"Cameron Carter-Vickers came in and got some game time which was good for him. He needs to build up that match fitness and obviously Greg Taylor was on the bench. Didn't feature but it makes hopefully a lot of them available for Wednesday and we will see about one or two others."
