Manager Brendan Rodgers will delay McGregor’s comeback until after Sunday’s cinch Premiership contest at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Celtic captain Callum McGregor has a “very good chance” of facing Rangers but will not be risked on Livingston’s artificial surface.
Rodgers said: “Callum has been out on the field, but we are not risking him in this game. But he should hopefully re-join training next week.”When asked if McGregor had a chance of facing Rangers, Rodgers replied: “Yes, a very good chance.” Cameron Carter-Vickers is also expected to play after being left out of the United States squad amid ongoing hamstring issues but Celtic could again be without wingers Yang Hyun-jun and Luis Palma, the latter of whom has a calf injury.
“You certainly have to consider it,” he said. “Like, for example Callum, you have to think along that route.“There’s no doubt it comes into your thinking, especially on the back of an international break when players have been travelling.
