Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Alistair Johnston is in line for a return to action against Aberdeen on Wednesday night, in what is a timely boost for Celtic ahead of the Scottish Cup final later this month. The Canadian international has been missing in recent matches through injury, sitting out the trip to Ibrox and this afternoon’s 3-1 win over Hibernian. His absence was felt at Ibrox, where Celtic had to rely on Anthony Ralston on the right side of defence.

Brendan Rodgers has revealed his goalkeeping selections for Celtic’s upcoming Premiership fixtures, with Kasper Schmeichel making a surprise return to the starting XI for today’s match against Hibernian. The veteran Dane, who has been sidelined in recent weeks, was brought back into the side despite Viljami Sinisalo’s solid form during his absence. The decision raised eyebrows given how dependable Sinisalo has been while filling in for the experienced shot-stopper.

Brendan Rodgers has come to the defence of Adam Idah after the striker found the net but also passed up several opportunities in Celtic’s 3-1 win over Hibernian at Celtic Park. The Irishman’s goal contributed to a positive result, though his overall finishing once again drew mixed reviews. Idah, who signed permanently from Norwich City in the summer, has been involved heavily at times throughout the campaign.

Brendan Rodgers has challenged his Celtic side to write their names into the history books by breaking a long-standing scoring record at Celtic Park. With one home game remaining this season, the Hoops have already hit 61 goals in league matches at Parkhead. The target is now to surpass the 62-goal benchmark set under Martin O’Neill during the 2003/04 campaign—a side that featured the likes of Henrik Larsson and Chris Sutton at their peak.

Adam Idah has opened up on his first full season at Celtic after scoring his 19th goal of the campaign in a 3-1 win over Hibernian this afternoon. The Irish striker found the net at the end of the first half, continuing his strong finish to a season that began with limited game time. Idah has had to fight for minutes, especially in the early months of the season, but has come into his own in recent months.
