Celtic's Johnston Returns to Training, While Araujo's Season May Be Over

Celtic has received a boost with the return of Alistair Johnston to training, but the club may have seen the last of loan defender Julian Araujo. Johnston, a Canada right-back, has been sidelined since October due to a hamstring injury. He rejoined his teammates at the club's Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. Meanwhile, Araujo, who is on loan from Bournemouth, has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem. The Mexico international had returned to his parent club to recuperate but has re-injured himself. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed his concerns about Araujo's situation, stating that the player may not feature for the club again this season. O'Neill also provided an update on Colby Donovan, who will miss the upcoming match due to a hamstring injury. The Celtic boss was pleased to see the return of the Green Brigade, the club's ultras group, after a five-month ban was lifted. The team is currently third in the Scottish Premiership, three points behind leaders Hearts. O'Neill acknowledged that the title race is still uncertain, saying that it could go either way.
