Alistair Johnston Resumes Training with Celtic, While Julian Araujo's Season May Be Over

Celtic has received a boost with the return of Alistair Johnston to training, following a lengthy absence due to a hamstring injury. The Canada right-back has been out since October but joined his teammates at the club's Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premiership game against St Mirren. However, the news is not as positive for loan defender Julian Araujo, who has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem. The Mexico international had returned to his parent club Bournemouth to recover but has since re-injured himself, casting doubt over his availability for the remainder of the season. Celtic boss Martin O'Neill expressed his concerns, stating that Araujo may not feature again for the club this season. In other news, right-back Colby Donovan will miss Saturday's game due to a hamstring injury and may also be absent for the Scottish Cup tie against the Saints at Hampden Park on April 19. Meanwhile, the Green Brigade will return to Celtic Park after a five-month ban, providing a much-needed boost to the team's support. The Hoops continue their pursuit of Hearts and Rangers at the top of the table, with O'Neill acknowledging that the title race is still wide open.
