Four Key Celtic Players Miss Training Ahead of Rangers Clash
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is facing uncertainty over the fitness of four key players ahead of the crucial Old Firm derby against Rangers on Sunday. Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn, Jota, and Alistair Johnston all missed the Hoops’ training session at Lennoxtown on Friday.
Injury Concerns
The absence of these players from training has raised concerns about their availability for the match against Rangers. Jota’s injury is suspected to be a long-term issue, which could rule him out of contention for the remainder of the season.
Potential Lineup Changes

Conclusion
