Celtic's Alistair Johnston Cleared for Cup Final

Brendan Rodgers has provided a positive update on Alistair Johnston's fitness ahead of Celtic's Premier Sports Cup final against Rangers, indicating that the Canadian right-back is expected to be available for selection. Johnston had been substituted with a hip flexor issue during a recent Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb, but Rodgers reassured fans that the injury is not serious and he has returned to training. Celtic, boasting an unbeaten league record, head into the final as favorites, while Rangers have struggled recently. The availability of Johnston is seen as crucial, given his key role in Celtic's defense this season. Rodgers emphasized the squad's overall health, expressing confidence in his players' readiness for the high-stakes match. The final at Hampden Park promises to be a closely contested affair as both teams vie for early silverware this season.
