The German winger missed the last two matches through injury but could be in contention for the Hoops’ third game in just six days.

Brendan Rodgers will be relieved to see Kuhn back in the fold, particularly with Celtic’s options on the wing stretched due to injuries to Daizen Maeda and James Forrest.

Luis Palma is set to leave the Hoops in the coming days, with a loan with an option to buy, agreed with Rayo Vallecano.

Kuhn’s return adds much-needed quality to the squad as the champions aim to maintain their commanding 18-point lead at the top of the table.

Celtic face a Dundee side brimming with confidence after holding Rangers to a 1-1 draw last Thursday. Tony Docherty’s men have proven difficult to beat at home, with their recent result highlighting their resilience.

Rodgers will be wary of the threat Dundee poses, particularly at Dens Park, where the hosts will look to frustrate Celtic and build on their impressive defensive display against Rangers. The Hoops will need to balance rotation with consistency as they manage the physical demands of three matches in under a week.
