Celtic Team News

The Scottish champions may welcome back Auston Trusty, who has been confirmed by manager Brendan Rodgers to have resumed first-team training on Friday. The 27-year-old defender has been sidelined with a heel injury that disrupted his early-season involvement but is nearing full recovery.

Anthony Ralston has also returned to full fitness following his recent injury issues and was included on the bench during the midweek Europa League draw in Belgrade. Meanwhile, Cameron Carter-Vickers appeared to tire towards the end of that European fixture and remains a fitness concern ahead of the weekend clash.

Jota continues to be unavailable due to his ACL injury sustained in April. The Portuguese winger offered a hopeful update via social media recently, showcasing underwater resistance exercises, though he is not anticipated to return to action until early next year.

New acquisition Kelechi Iheanacho looks set to feature after quickly making his mark. The former Leicester City forward netted a vital late penalty on his debut against Kilmarnock and scored the equaliser in Celtic’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Red Star Belgrade.
