Greg Taylor has been pictured in Celtic training just days after Steve Clarke's "issues" comment.
The left-back was not called up to the latest Scotland squad for the nation's upcoming games against Cyprus and Spain.
In his media conference, national team boss Clarke, who worked with Taylor closely at Kilmarnock, revealed that there were some niggling issues behind his omission from the squad.
The Scotland gaffer insisted that was one for Celtic to explain.
Today, though, Celtic have released pictures of the 25-year-old in training at Lennoxtown.

The full-back looked very happy as he joined the rest of his teammates in first-team training.
It is expected that Ange Postecoglou will deliver an update on the situation while speaking to the media this afternoon.
Clarke's comments on Tuesday read: "I have had a chat with Greg.
“It is really a Celtic issue, more than for me to comment on. He is carrying a little injury.

“He will probably benefit from a rest rather than coming away with the national team. Celtic should elaborate on that a little bit.”
He added: “We are well covered in all the positions. We are not too bad at left back. (Kieran) Tierney and (Andy) Robertson do okay. Young Josh Doig is in the under-21s if we want to go deeper into that position.
“Aaron Hickey can play left or right. Aaron is back playing in the Brentford team. Nathan Patterson has been fit for a number of weeks, three weeks I think.
“He has had some minutes with the under-21s, but he hasn’t managed to convince his new gaffer that he should be playing in the team yet. But I am sure that will come.”
