CELTIC shared training ground footage as the team returned to Lennoxtown to prepare for the second half of the season.
The footage showcased the Japanese trio Celtic had signed before the window had even opened, however, two noticeable absences were spotted.

Jota and Kyogo have not returned to training despite reports suggesting the pair could be fit for the resumption of the season.
Jota was in Portugal receiving treatment for the injury he sustained against Hearts with Kyogo spotted on a flight back from Dubai – this is likely to have been a connection from Japan.
Jota has been a bright spark in this Celtic side, as have many others, his skills leave defenders dazzled and his pace leaving them playing catch up.
Kyogo has also been amazing since coming through the door. His knowledge and ability to read the game is something else and as a result of this, the 26-year-old often finds himself a few steps further forward than his teammates and opposition defenders.
Also missing was David Turnbull, however, he is months away from getting back on the pitch.
