Good News for Celtic as they receive DOUBLE injury boost as they prepare to face Motherwell

Celtic has received a double injury boost ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Motherwell. Manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that first-choice center-back duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty should be fit to face Motherwell.

Both players missed the goalless draw with Dundee United due to injury, but they have made a quick recovery and are expected to return to the starting lineup. Rodgers expressed his delight at having his first-choice defensive partnership back, saying, “Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty should be back. They did some work on the bike on Sunday, and all being well, they should be available.”

The return of Carter-Vickers and Trusty is a significant boost for Celtic, who have a busy schedule of games coming up. The Hoops face Motherwell on Boxing Day, followed by another home game against Ross County, before traveling to Ibrox to face Rangers on January 2.

While Liam Scales and Stephen Welsh performed well in the absence of Carter-Vickers and Trusty, Rodgers will be relieved to have his first-choice defensive partnership back. The Celtic manager will be hoping that his team can bounce back from the disappointing draw with Dundee United and return to winning ways against Motherwell.

Celtic’s defense has been one of the strongest aspects of their game this season, and the return of Carter-Vickers and Trusty will only strengthen their backline. The Hoops have kept several clean sheets this season, and their defense has been instrumental in their success.

In other news, Celtic fans are still waiting to see if the club will make any signings in the January transfer window. The Hoops have been linked with several players, but so far, there have been no official announcements. With the transfer window set to open soon, Celtic fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any new signings.

Rodgers has hinted that the club may be active in the transfer market, saying, “We have to recover quickly between games now. We will need everyone available.” This suggests that the Celtic manager may be looking to bring in some fresh faces to bolster his squad.

Celtic has been linked with several players, including wingers and strikers. The Hoops have been struggling to find consistency in their attacking play, and Rodgers may be looking to bring in some new talent to address this issue.

Overall, the return of Carter-Vickers and Trusty is a significant boost for Celtic, and the club will be hoping to build on this positive news in the coming weeks. With a busy schedule of games ahead, the Hoops will need all the help they can get to stay top of the table.
