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

Alistair Johnston, Celtic's long-term absentee, has resumed training with the team, but Julian Araujo's season may be cut short due to a recurring thigh injury. Johnston, Canada's right-back, has been out since October with a hamstring issue but joined his teammates at the Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren. Meanwhile, Araujo, who is on loan from Bournemouth, has suffered a setback in his recovery and may not play for Celtic again this season. According to Martin O'Neill, Celtic's manager, Johnston's return to training is a positive development, and the team hopes to have him back in action soon. However, Araujo's injury has dealt a significant blow to the team's defensive lineup. O'Neill also confirmed that right-back Colby Donovan will miss the upcoming match due to a hamstring injury and may also be sidelined for the Scottish Cup tie against the Saints. The return of the Green Brigade, Celtic's ultras group, has been welcomed by O'Neill, who believes their vocal support will give the team a boost in their pursuit of the title.
