The 29-year-old hasn't kicked a ball for club or country since participating in the Hoops' 3-1 win over Hearts at the end of August.
It is understood a combination of a thigh strain and a virus kept him out of the trips to former clubs Livingston and Hibs.

The 19-cap Scotland international could well be in contention for Celtic's home match with Ross County on Saturday and could also be considered for the Euro 2020 qualifiers double-header against Cyprus and Kazakhstan in mid-November.
