Two Celtic Stars Miss Training

Kieran Tierney and Kasper Hogh appear to remain doubts for Celtic’s trip to St Mirren after missing training ahead of Saturday night’s match.

Sky Sports Scotland reported on X that five of Celtic’s new signings were involved at Lennoxtown, but there was no sign of Tierney or Hogh before the Hoops’ visit to Paisley.

Tierney missed that game after failing to train in the days leading up to it, with Liam Scales starting on the left side of defence in his place. That may now continue at St Mirren unless there is a late change before the squad is confirmed.

Hogh was also absent against Aberdeen, with Camilo Duran again leading the line and continuing his excellent start to life in Glasgow. The Colombian scored and assisted in the win, taking his tally to six goals and two assists in seven Celtic appearances.

The latest training update suggests Celtic may have to go without both Tierney and Hogh again, despite hopes earlier in the week that they could return for the weekend.

There was better news on the new signing front, with five of Celtic’s late-window arrivals involved in training. Jordan Lotomba, Joel van den Berg, Sam Johnstone, Shim Mheuka and Oliver Sørensen were all part of the session, giving O’Neill more options after a frantic end to the transfer window.

Landon Emenalo was announced before the Aberdeen game but was not involved in the matchday squad, with the young Chelsea loanee still working his way towards fitness.

Celtic go to St Mirren with momentum, but the left-back and striker situations remain worth watching. Tierney’s absence would again leave Scales as the likely option on that side, while Duran’s form makes Hogh’s absence easier to manage for now.
