Despite the draw, Celtic’s three goals from Daizen Maeda, Matt O’Riley, and Adam Idah at Ibrox have kept their title hopes robust and arguably put the Hoops in a better position than their title rivals.
There didn’t seem to be any injuries picked up at the weekend, which should give Brendan Rodgers a full squad to choose from.
Callum McGregor made his injury return against Rangers, coming on in the second half.
His fitness has been a talking point, and former Celtic boss Neil Lennon has raised concerns about his performance at the weekend.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer, Lennon expressed concern over McGregor’s condition, noting his rustiness in the game against Rangers.
Lennon said, “I think he’s still carrying a bit. When he’s not in the line-up before the game you’re worried but the way Celtic took to the game, we didn’t miss him. He didn’t look great. I don’t know if he’s got a long-term problem. It’s very uncharacteristic of him. He’s very, very rusty.”
Hopefully, it was just a lack of match sharpness that we saw against Rangers, and after a full week in training he’ll be getting back to his best for Celtic’s title charge
