Neil Lennon will return to the Celtic midfield for the Uefa Cup quarter-final first-leg against Villarreal.
Lennon missed Saturday's draw with Hearts with a persistent leg injury.
Stilian Petrov will be back by his side after being rested, while defender Bobo Balde is available again after being suspended for the visit to Barcelona.
Defenders Joos Valgaeren and Johan Mjallby have trained and could be available, while Chris Sutton and Alan Thompson have declared themselves fit.
Villarreal are without the suspended Juliano Belletti, the Brazilian defender having picked up three yellow cards so far.
Skipper Quique Alvarez travelled with the Spanish side's squad and could return to the back-line at Celtic Park.
Villarreal have produced some excellent away performances during a run that has taken them from the Intertoto Cup to the latter stages of the Uefa Cup.
They won away to Herenveen and Torpedo Moscow and drew with Brescia and Galatasaray.
Domestically, they lie tenth in La Liga but drew 0-0 with Barcelona, victims of Celtic in the previous Uefa Cup round, in the Nou Camp at the weekend.
