Celtic travel to face Inverness live on Sky Sports
Sunday 29 November 2015 11:32, UK
Inverness Caledonian Thistle could have Gary Warren and David Raven back in their ranks for the visit of Celtic and the Sky Sports cameras on Sunday lunchtime.
The match has been given the go ahead after the pitch passed an early morning inspection.
Both Warren and Raven missed last week's 2-1 defeat at Partick but were put through their paces in a development game in midweek; Richie Foran, who has been out since September, also had a run-out on Tuesday but will not be risked this weekend.

Caley Thistle manager John Hughes believes he knows where the weaknesses are in Celtic's approach and hopes his side can exploit them on Sunday.
He told the Daily Record: "It's simple. Every Celtic player, including the subs, could get a game in every other team in the Premiership. That's how far in front they are.
"But Celtic bring the best out in us. Sometimes it goes for you, sometimes against you. They've battered us in the past. They took four off us at the start of the season but took their foot off the pedal and we scored twice.
"The lesson in that is we know we can score against them. They are vulnerable at set-pieces by their own admission. That's maybe their Achilles heel - and it's cost them at times in Europe.
"We need to try and capitalise on that. What you have to do against Celtic is keep yourself in the game, knowing the chance will come. When it comes, take it."
