Brendan Rodgers was aware that he wouldn’t have Daizen Maeda or Liam Scales available for this weekend’s Premiership match against St Mirren.
During the pre-match news conference, the Celtic manager disclosed that Maeda, the Japanese attacker, may miss the rest of the season due to a major hamstring problem. Prior to a timeline being proposed for Maeda’s absence, medical tests must be conducted. This freed up space on the wing for the manager to fill, and his starting lineup for this afternoon gave supporters an idea of the boss’s thinking
Scales, meanwhile, has been a standout center-half this season. He started before summer transfer additions, but he will be absent for the Paisley game and has also had to be replaced.
Iwata, O’Riley, Hatate, Kuhn, Yang, Kyogo, Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Nawrocki, Taylor, and Iwata make up the Celtic XI.
Subs: McGregor, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh, Bain, Lagerbielke, Palma, Idah, Bernardo, and Ralston.
Hemming, Fraser, Gogic, Taylor, Bwomono, Baccus, O’Hara, Boyde-Munce, Tanser, Kiltie, and Olusanya make up the St. Mirren XI.
Urminsky, Bolton, Dunne, Brown, McMenamin, Jamieson, Scott, and Mandron are the substitutes.
