In an update on Celtic’s injured stars, Liel Abada and Reo Hatate, Brendan Rodgers hinted that they might play some role against Rangers.

The Israeli hasn’t been seen since September, and his teammate wasn’t seen in the Champions League 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid in late October, so the two have been out of action for months.Although Rodgers did not explicitly state that either would be available to start against their rivals on Saturday afternoon, he did hint that he might be open to allowing them to play as substitutes.

And following the team’s 3-0 victory over Dundee today, which saw Cameron Carter-Vickers forced off with an injury, Rodgers provided updates on all THREE important players.

Regarding Abada and Reo, he remarked, “They might be near it.” Of course, being prepared to begin is one thing. When Liel trained, he looked great on the field. [Last night with the group]. In order to strengthen him, we kept him at home for another session. His goals and running have been missed. We’re going to have him for the second half of the season.

The manager further stated on CCV: “We had previously informed him that he didn’t need to feel this tightness.

to be a hero. If he felt anything, just come off. We’re hoping he’s okay, but we’ll find out in the next couple of days.”
