Johnston Resumes Training, While Araujo's Celtic Career May Be Over

Celtic has received a boost with the return of Alistair Johnston to training after a lengthy absence due to a hamstring injury. However, the club may have seen the last of loan defender Julian Araujo, who has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem. Johnston, the Canadian right-back, rejoined his teammates at the club's Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. His return is a welcome development for manager Martin O'Neill, who is eager to have him back in the lineup as soon as possible. Araujo, on the other hand, had returned to his parent club Bournemouth to recover but has since experienced a setback, leaving his future at Celtic uncertain. O'Neill expressed his concern, stating that Araujo may not feature for the club again this season. The manager also provided an update on right-back Colby Donovan, who will miss the upcoming match due to a hamstring injury. Furthermore, O'Neill welcomed the return of the Green Brigade, the Hoops ultras group, to Celtic Park after a five-month ban was lifted. The group's vocal support will be a significant boost to the team as they continue their pursuit of Hearts and Rangers at the top of the table.
