Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew is delighted to have returned from his thigh injury, which had kept him sidelined since the 26th November.
The 29-year-old managed to make ten appearances this season, before missing out on more than two months of football due to a hamstring injury picked up in the 2-1 away loss to Aberdeen on 12th September 2015.
Mulgrew then suffered a thigh injury while making his return from the hamstring injury, in the 2-1 home loss against Ajax on 26th November 2015.
The defender-cum-midfielder marked his return from the thigh injury in the 2-0 away Scottish Cup win over East Kilbride on Sunday.
Ronny Deila’s side eased to a comfortable win courtesy of goals from top scorer Leigh Griffiths and new signing Colin Kazim-Richards.

The 29-year-old Scotland international does not want to look back at the disappointing last five months and wants to focus on improving his fitness and being positive as he works towards being 100 per cent fit.
Speaking in an interview with Celtic TV, Mulgrew said: “It’s good to be back, I have felt well, I have played half of the practice match.
“I have played 45 of another reserve match and got 70-75 minutes [against East Kilbride]. So I am delighted to be back.
“All the time I am focused on the end goal and that’s getting fit and I try to think positive.
“I don’t want to look back, I had the disappointment, but I am being positive and looking to get back as quick as possible, and do my training. Thankfully I am back now.”
