Celtic's Trusty, Johnston Rule Out International Departures Amid Injury Concerns

Celtic is facing potential departures of key players as the summer transfer window approaches, with Alistair Johnston being a notable name linked to Premier League interest. However, Johnston has expressed his desire to remain at Celtic, reassuring fans that he intends to continue his career at Parkhead. Meanwhile, the club is managing injuries, particularly with defender Auston Trusty, who missed the recent Glasgow Derby and has been ruled out of international duty for the United States national team. Trusty’s absence was felt in the derby loss to Rangers, where Maik Nawrocki filled in effectively. Despite the injury setbacks, Celtic still holds a commanding position in the league with a 13-point lead over Rangers and is aiming for a potential treble. Brendan Rodgers has received backing from the Celtic board, although not all summer signings have made the expected impact.
