Alistair Johnston Returns to Training, Julian Araujo's Celtic Career May Be Over
Celtic's long-term injured player Alistair Johnston has resumed training, while loan defender Julian Araujo may have played his last game for the club due to a recurring thigh issue. Johnston, who has been out since October with a hamstring injury, joined his teammates at the Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. However, Araujo's recovery has been set back, and Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed concerns that he may not feature for the team again this season. O'Neill also provided updates on other injured players, including right-back Colby Donovan, who will miss the upcoming game due to a hamstring injury. The manager welcomed the return of the Green Brigade, the team's ultras group, after a five-month ban was lifted, and discussed the ongoing title race, stating that he would rather be in Hearts' position as the league leaders.
