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

After a lengthy absence due to a hamstring injury, Alistair Johnston has resumed training with Celtic. However, the club may have seen the last of loan defender Julian Araujo, who has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury. Johnston, the Canada right-back, rejoined his teammates at the Lennoxtown training complex in preparation for the upcoming Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. Meanwhile, Araujo, who is on loan from Bournemouth, has experienced a complication in his recovery, which may rule him out for the remainder of the season. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed his concerns about Araujo's situation, stating that the player's chances of returning to the team this season are slim. O'Neill also provided an update on Colby Donovan, who will miss the St Mirren game due to a hamstring injury. The Celtic boss was pleased to see the return of the Green Brigade, the team's ultras group, after a five-month ban was lifted. With the title race heating up, O'Neill acknowledged that Hearts are in a favorable position, but he remains uncertain about the outcome.
