SIX (6) Celtic training observations as Carter-Vickers and Johnston missing and fringe men vie for chance

Sunday. As previously reported, Brendan Rodgers may need to make changes for the visit of John McGlynn’s undefeated Bairns because two important players were not present during the session. Of course, it’s possible that he was thinking of rotating during the cup match against Championship opponents, but he will be aware of McGlynn’s team’s disadvantages.

Many players on the fringes, particularly recent additions Auston Trusty and Alex Valle who haven’t played much football yet, will be eager to grab their opportunity.

While some, like Luke McCowan and Adam Idah, have shown promise off the bench, they will be clamoring for a starting role. Six takeaways from the Celtic training session this morning.

 

Auston Trusty would be the favourite to come into the backline but Stephen Welsh will have other ideas.

Luke McCowan has impressed off the bench so far – could the cup present the perfect chance to blood him from the start?

Key defensive duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston both look like serious doubts as they’ve missed this morning’s session.
