CELTIC has been receiving some concerning reports over the international break, with several players picking up some injuries.
It’s Deja Vu, with this scenario seeming to occur at least once a season, but it’s football and injuries and unavoidable.
One player set to return to Lennoxtown injury free is Josip Juranovic. The right-back was rested by his country as they overcame Austria 3-1. Croatian internationalist was named on the bench and remained there for the match, meaning he’ll be relatively fresh for Celtic’s encounter against Motherwell.

The player had started all of Celtic’s league matches until the loss in Paisley. Postecoglou admitted that he was in need of a rest and had handed Anthony Ralston his first league start of the season.
Many of the international stars are in action on Monday and Tuesday, with the coaching staff and fans hoping no more injuries are picked up before the return to domestic action.
