Brendan Rodgers has encountered a string of unfortunate injuries this season at Celtic, with Callum McGregor being the latest concern.

McGregor, a pivotal figure in the team’s recent successes, is now facing some time on the sidelines, which comes as a significant blow to Rodgers and the Celtic squad.

The search for suitable replacements, especially in the absence of Reo Hatate, has been a challenge throughout the season for the Hoops manager, leaving him in a tough spot with McGregor’s injury.

Speculation swirled on social media suggesting McGregor could miss the remainder of Celtic’s season, causing alarm among fans. However, Rodgers swiftly quelled these fears by confirming McGregor’s return post the international break.

While McGregor’s imminent return is reassuring, his availability for the upcoming Livingston game on March 31st and the Glasgow Derby remains uncertain.

Journalist Mark Guidi shared insights into McGregor’s situation, aiming to ease the worries of Celtic supporters and dismiss speculations of a long absence.

Guidi suggested that McGregor may not be ready for the Livingston game but assured fans that there are no long-term concerns regarding his injury. He emphasized that McGregor’s absence is not anticipated to stretch for months, ensuring his availability for key upcoming fixtures.

The artificial turf at Livingston poses a risk for an injured player like McGregor, making it advisable for him to sit out that game for his full recovery. The hope is that McGregor will regain his fitness in time to lead Celtic against Ibrox on April 7th, a crucial match that necessitates his presence on the field.
