Celtic fans will be keeping a close eye on team news ahead of tomorrow’s crucial clash against Aberdeen, as Greg Taylor wasn’t spotted in today’s Lennoxtown training photos from the SNS Group.
Prior to the international break, Taylor was out injured, and Brendan Rodgers admitted it would be after the players returned from their national duties before the left-back would be fit again.
If Taylor misses out, it would be a massive game for Alex Valle, who looks set to start at left-back against an Aberdeen side that has been in top form. Valle has stepped in before, but this match against the unbeaten Dons could be one of his biggest tests yet.
Johnston, meanwhile, was an injury concern leading into the international break but played the full 90 minutes in Celtic’s 3-1 win over Ross County. Despite being fit enough for that match, he was left out of the Canada squad for precautionary reasons. He was pictured in training today.
Cameron Carter-Vickers was back in training after recovering from a toe injury, which will be a huge boost for Brendan Rodgers’ defence. James Forrest, who withdrew from Scotland duty with an injury, was also pictured in training, suggesting he could be available for selection.
Odin Holm trained today, too. The midfielder was left out of Celtic’s squad photo for this season.
Celtic fans will hope for clarity in Brendan Rodgers’ press conference later today to get the full news.
