Celtic midfielder Paul Lambert will find out on Wednesday whether or not an ankle injury will rule him out for the rest of the season.

The former Borussia Dortmund man injured his ankle in the 1-0 win at Kilmarnock at the start of November.

Lambert has travelled with the team to Florida for their mid-season break where he will find out if his injury has healed sufficiently enough to play competitive football.

"Wednesday is D-day for me. If I can twist and turn that will be a clear indication the injury has healed because I haven't been able to do that up until now," said Lambert.
