Johnston Returns to Training as Araujo's Celtic Career May Be Over
Celtic's long-term injured player Alistair Johnston has resumed training, but loan defender Julian Araujo may have played his last game for the club due to a setback in his recovery. Johnston, who has been out since October with a hamstring injury, joined his teammates at the club's training complex ahead of the Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. Araujo, on the other hand, has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem and may not play for Celtic again this season. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed his concern over Araujo's injury, stating that he may not see him again if it's the same injury that he has re-aggravated. O'Neill also confirmed that right-back Colby Donovan will miss Saturday's game with a hamstring injury and may also miss the Scottish Cup tie against the Saints. Meanwhile, the Green Brigade, Celtic's ultras group, will return to Celtic Park after a five-month ban was lifted, which O'Neill believes will give the team a boost. O'Neill also commented on the title race, stating that he would rather be in Hearts' position, who are currently leading the table with 67 points.
