Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has welcomed the return of Wishaw's David Turnbull to his starting XI.The midfielder has replaced Reo Hatate in the Hoops team facing Hearts at Parkhead on Saturday afternoon.He hasn't started a match since a hamstring injury in December's League Cup final against Hibs, which has kept him out for most of 2022.Turnbull has recently made his comeback from injury via the bench but this is his first time back in from the start.A strong first half of the season has helped take the Motherwell academy graduate's tally for the season to nine goals and eight assists.Closing in on Premiership title glory after Rangers won the league last year, Postecoglou says the Lanarkshire ace's starting return is a nice lift ahead of their final week of this campaign.Speaking to Sky Sports, the Australian said: "He's probably been ready for a couple of weeks now."You never really know when the right time is and the team has been playing pretty well.

He's ready to go."It's great to have him back. He had a great first half of the season for us."I know he was disappointed (with the injury) but he's worked hard in his rehab."Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
