Fingers crossed again we can get to the bottom of that and he’ll be available after the international break.
Brendan Rodgers and Callum McGregor were both missing when the media were given access to Celtic training at Lennoxtown this morning.
The captain was substituted at half time during the 7-1 victory over Dundee on Wednesday night with no reports of any injury, Rodgers did his usual rounds…
After the break there was ‘only’ a goal from Daniel Kelly but 18 minutes into his SPFL debut it was a magic moment for the teenager midfielder who has watched David Watson and Lennon Miller grab the headlines against Celtic in recent matches.
Gordon Strachan believes that there is one injury that Brendan Rodgers must be dreading more than any other.
Since taking charge of Celtic last summer the Irishman has had multiple injuries to content with, in pre-season Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston missed out on the preparations in Portugal…
It wasn’t until midway through the second half that the equaliser arrived but after Johnston broke into the penalty box the ball fell to Callum McGregor who found the net with a fierce half volley from 16 yards out. The joy matched the relief.
Back in 2016 McGregor’s future was far from certain at Celtic, after breaking through at the start of the 2014/15 season under Ronny Deila his form and appearances had started to drift.
You can’t have new faces coming on on high salaries when the ones who have been successful in the past are left behind. The question now turns to just who will be signed.
He’s the heartbeat of this team. He’s taken on the responsibility of being captain of a worldwide institution with great effect and we’ll look to continue that development.
It’s great that we’ve managed to get him back and it’s obviously a really positive step for the club. You know it’s a real statement of intent.
