The pair have both been sidelined in recent weeks, missing the victories over Aberdeen and St Mirren, while Hogh also sat out the earlier win against Falkirk.
There had been concerns among the Celtic support that both players could be facing more significant spells on the sidelines, but those fears have eased after Tierney and Hogh were pictured back in training on Tuesday.
It remains to be seen whether either will be ready to start at McDiarmid Park, although Martin O'Neill will hope they can play some part against the Perth side.
Alistair Johnston was also back out on the grass as he continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury, although the Canadian is expected to require more time before making his competitive return.
In Hogh's absence, summer signing Camilo Duran has operated through the middle and continued his impressive start to life at Celtic.

The Celtic manager will be looking for a positive reaction from the players who will still be hurting having had their Champions League dream torn from them. They will know that the Celtic supporters who travelled to Linz were angry at the end and that was the same emotion for the rest of us watching on Amazon Prime.
Martin O'Neill has made three changes to his starting XI for today's match against Falkirk with Liam Scales replacing Auston Trusty, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain coming in for the Celtic captain Callum McGregor, who is suffering from a sickness bug while Haissem Hassan gets his first start for Celtic with Yang and Camilo Duran the other two forwards.
Duran will play as the striker with Kasper Hogh out with a knock picked up in Austria.
On the bench for Celtic this afternoon are Doohan, Trusty, McCowan, Tounekti, Osmand, Kenny, Murray, Forrest and Kennedy.
Kick-off is at 3pm and the match is live on Celtic Player for subscribers based outside of Britain and Ireland.

In the aftermath of the capitulation in Linz, Callum McGregor has admitted he and his teammates deserved to exit the Champions League at the playoff stage yet again. The Celtic skipper didn't hold back on his post match ***** ysis, as he admitted that the massive collapse was down to no-one else but himself and his fellow teammates.
Speaking to Prime the Celtic skipper was brutally honest in his ***** sment as he said: "We got what we deserved. We were passive all night. We actually looked scared to go and win the game. When you are 3-0 up in the tie it's psychological."

Callum also admitted we got away with were fortunate in the first leg, and our goals more or less papered over the cracks, and offered his apologies to the supporters. "To be honest, I didn't think we were that good in the first leg either. We scored at good times and got away with it."

"It's very difficult to do that just after the game is over," O'Neill said. "We should have been out of sight by half-time. We scored a goal which was great, we missed two great opportunities, and then we give them a lifeline just before half-time and then one just after it.
"And they come roaring back and obviously we conceded from our viewpoint, not very good goals at all. That's my team and that's my responsibility."

Last night we witnessed one of the biggest capitulations ever when we threw away a four goal aggregate lead in Linz. A result that ranks with the worst in the club's history, and in doing so witnessed our dreams of reaching the Champions League group stages ripped into absolute shreds.
For the second year in a row we literally threw away a £40 million golden ticket, and we now need to ask serious questions of not just the players, and coaching staff, but yet again those who run our club from above.

LASK were worthy winners of the tie, we have to give due credit to them and also wish them well for what will be their first ever Champions League campaign. Even in the first leg they looked the more dangerous side, and were unlucky not to score on a few occasions. The 3-0 scoreline certainly flattered Celtic, unlike last night when LASK fully deserved their 5-1 victory.

We asked for your views after Celtic took a firm grip of their Champions League play-off with a 3-0 first-leg win over LASK at Parkhead.
Here are some of your comments:
Gavin: Superb going forward, solid in midfield but far too open at the back. We need more back-up and we will need to score in the away game. Overall they are a new team starting to knit together.
Brandon: Easily one of the best European nights in a while at Celtic Park, what an atmosphere!
Gordy: Fantastic performance and result, still a bit lax in defence at times but we are starting to build an exciting team. Camilo Duran stole the show with his goals and display, but the performance of Kasper Hogh was vital as he was the link from defence to attack and kept both centre-halves busy all night. Hopefully get the job done next week and then a few more signings, magnificent European night.

Callum McGregor skippers the side in the centre of midfield. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes his first appearance of the season, starting in the midfield alongside McGregor and Benji Nygren.
In attack, Sebastian Tounekti starts with Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh.

The Austrian champions have opened their ******* le defence with consecutive league wins and continued their perfect start by beating Austria Wien 2-0 on Sunday.
Attention will soon turn towards the Champions League play-off against Celtic, with the first leg at Celtic Park followed by the return meeting in Austria.
LASK will face a Hoops attack strengthened considerably during the summer window, with Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran already added to Martin O'Neill's squad and Haissem Hassan poised to further bolster the forward options.
And although Jungwirth did not directly reference Celtic, he acknowledged LASK could be punished by stronger opposition if they repeat some of the shortcomings from their weekend performance.

Kasper Hogh's impressive first-half hat-trick against Kilmarnock drew comparisons to a litany of Celtic's most prestigious forwards.
BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter, Tom English, said the Denmark striker, who was making just his second appearance for Martin O'Neill's side, represented "the most proven goalscorer Celtic have signed since Chris Sutton".
Current manager O'Neill signed Sutton from Chelsea in what was then the club's record outlay, with Hogh their current biggest fee.
However, the man who partnered Henrik Larsson for years in Glasgow isn't so sure about the comparison.
"Tom does talk a lot of rubbish at times, and that's clearly evident there," Sutton said on the Monday Night Club.

Reminding some of the once viral Techno Viking, Kasper Hogh is already earning rave reviews after recording his first goals - and first hat-trick - for Celtic.
Big-money signings come with big expectations and the Scottish champions' record-breaking summer recruit put in a statement performance in Saturday's thumping 5-1 win over Kilmarnock.
The £11m striker had his side ahead in just 64 seconds and, with little more than half an hour played, he had already earned the match ball, a firm back-post header having been followed by a precise low finish before a diving finish completed a rapid-fire treble.
Although Daizen Maeda had managed the feat in cup ties, this was the first hat-trick from a Celtic forward in the league since October 2022, when James Forrest hit three against Hibernian.
Unsurprisingly, it's already drawing comparisons between the new number nine and the heroes of the past.

New Celtic striker Kasper Hogh delivered a tonic for the recuperating Martin O'Neill with a first-half hat-trick at Kilmarnock in the absence of his manager.
The Dane got off the mark in a Celtic jersey as the champions beat Killie 5-1 on the new grass pitch at Rugby Park to jump above St Mirren on goal difference at the top of the William Hill Premiership.
Shaun Maloney took charge of Celtic as O'Neill rested following an overnight hospital stay in midweek following what the club called a "small procedure".
The 74-year-old was able to visit his players at the team hotel beforehand and they produced their highest-scoring league performance since beating Aberdeen by the same scoreline in May 2025.

After his first outing for Celtic, record signing Kasper Hogh joked that he needs some "shooting practice".
The Denmark international played the full game as Martin O'Neill's side beat Dundee 1-0 at Parkhead to kick off their Premiership **** le defence.
But how did Hogh fare on his first outing for his new club?
Having cost a reported £11m from Bodo/Glimt, Hogh will ultimately be judged on goals but he was unable to get off the mark at the first time of asking, although it is clearly too early to judge a player who only joined last week.
He generated an expected goals (xG) of 0.88, the highest of any Celtic player including goalscorer Benjamin Nygren (0.86).

With speculation also mounting over key players moving elsewhere, Martin O'Neill has quite the conundrum when it comes to selecting his first XI of the campaign. Here's how I think that Celtic will line-up this evening.
In goals it's an easy choice, with Viljami Sinisalo fully expected to start. Martin O'Neill is on the hunt for a new goalkeeper who will provide meaningful competition for the gloves but at the moment the Finland international keeper remains first pick for Celtic.
When it comes to the defence, Liam Scales is of course suspended for the first two games of the campaign after going through the booking threshold at the end of last season, and Auston Trusty has just recently arrived back at the club after his World Cup participation with the USA, so Dane Murray could well line up alongside the returning Cameron Carter-Vickers who will make his first competitive appearance in six months.
Or Martin may opt for Trusty if the American World Cup star declares himself ready to perform.

It's a challenging season ahead for the Celtic squad with new faces expected to arrive in several areas of the park, and one man in particular will find it even tougher to get minutes given the two new arrivals he's now got to contend with in order to get his chance to establish himself as a regular starter.
Callum Osmand, the highly rated 20 year old who was signed from Fulham last summer had a mixed experience last campaign, having impressed in stages only to succumb to long term injury, but signed off last campaign with an unforgettable goal in an unforgettable last day ***** le win.

After a full pre season, Callum is now fighting fit and raring to go, but faces a huge obstacle in his way in the shape of new additions £5.5m Camilo Duran, and £11 million man Kasper Hogh, both of whom will undoubtedly be seen as automatic first choice picks ahead of the Jersey born youngster.

Celtic needed a top centre-forward after three consecutive seasons without one of their players finishing as the Scottish Premiership's top scorer. The last player to achieve it was Kyogo Furuhashi.

The Denmark international completed his move to the Scottish champions from Bodo/Glimt, becoming one of Celtic's most expensive ever signings.
Under football's solidarity payment system, several of the striker's former clubs are entitled to a share of the fee in recognition of their role in his development.
That includes Danish fifth-tier outfit Vorup FB, where Hogh spent nine years as a youngster before continuing his career with hometown side Randers.
Vorup are now set to collect around £57,000 from the transfer, with the club planning to reinvest the money into its youth and grassroots setup.

Martin O'Neill is prioritising quality over quantity as Celtic prepare to defend their Scottish Premiership ***** le.
The Parkhead side have made two signings this summer - Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh - for reported combined fees of around £15m.
However, talismanic forward Daizen Maeda has left to join Ipswich Town and O'Neill is keen to get high-calibre players through the door sooner rather than later.
Celtic have been linked extensively with Real Oviedo and Egypt winger Haissem Hassan as well as Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur.
"I think we're trying to get some quality into the football club," O'Neill told Sky Sports.

Celtic today completed the signing of Danish International striker Kasper Hogh in a record breaking £11 million plus deal from Bodo/Glimt, leaving most of us delighted, but also a bit surprised as none of us, understandably so, had any faith in our hierarchy getting top quality deals over the line.
The striker who also played for Randers, Hobro, Aab, and Stabaek, in his homeland was a previously a player of serious interest in the eyes of Celtic, but unfortunately a deal didn't come to anything, due to a combination of our club's lackadaisical attitude towards recruitment, and Bodo Glimt's reluctance to sell due to their participation in the latter stages of the Champions League.
Hogh is a player of great ability, and it's a real sign of intent from Martin O'Neill, who has shown that he means business going into the forthcoming campaign.
The Danish centre forward is a player of proven quality as his record of 53 goals in 104 appearances for the forward thinking Norwegian side testifies.

That game will be packed but today's friendly against a lightweight AC Milan side that will be missing multiple top performers, will not be well attended due to the Celtic support once again being frustrated and angry with the club for creating another summer of discontent through their inactivity in transfer market, so far only getting one deal over the line with the £5m signing of Camilo Duran from Qarabag.
That transfer fee has been more than covered by the sale of Luis Palma to Lech Poznan for £3.5m and Maik Nawrocki to RC Lens for £2m. And with Celtic CEO Michael Nicholson in discussions to sign four new players, it looks like the delay could be caused by an instruction to wait for sales of key players like Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels before proceeding with the purchases Martin O'Neill needs this week.
Maeda should compete his move to Ipswich Town today and that could result in Kasper Hogh from Bodo Glimt coming to Celtic early next week, fingers crossed anyway.
Meanwhile Celtic are haggling over a few hundred grand which is frustrating the move for German midfielder Mika Baur with SC Paderborn resisting the latest Celtic lowballing attempt for their player who has already agreed personal terms with the Scottish Champions and wants the move to happen.

Well that is what we as Celtic supporters are currently experiencing with our tightfisted and incompetent board, and if history repeats itself, then those in charge at Celtic Football Club will have to face the music from a support that has already had enough of their extreme financial prudence and **** ding of cash that’s by and large put into the club by the fans.

We’ve so far failed to add to the addition of Camilo Duran, although talks are ongoing with German side Paderborn over the transfer of midfielder Mika Baur, and a move has been made to snap up Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh.

Worryingly though, it appears that a snag has hit the Baur deal, with claims from Germany that Celtic and Paderborn are at loggerheads over the fee, with a mere £300,000 the sum the Celtic representatives are haggling over as they can’t resist a lowball attempt to shave something off the asking price at the eleventh hour.
