Celtic take on Dundee this weekend in the Scottish Premiership. The Bhoys are looking to make it back-to-back league wins following an invaluable victory at Ibrox two weeks ago.
Ahead of the match, the Bhoys trained through the week in preparation. Across social media as usual, Celtic posted several pictures of the Scottish champions at Lennoxtown.
Although a number of those seen were familiar faces, one stood out that was somewhat unrecognisable. Indeed on further inspection, Marco Tilio could be seen training with the first team:

Brendan Rodgers confirmed recently the young Australian winger was starting to come into first-team training but to see photographic evidence of it is pleasing. As the gaffer has previously said, it could take a while for Tilio to actually make an appearance, though, as he did not have a pre-season.
Nevertheless, his presence in training is greatly positive and a big step for him. In his homeland, the 22-year-old receives some high praise, and with recent news of Liel Abada’s injury, it could be Tilio’s time to shine when he eventually gets on the pitch for the champions.
