Celtic will try to avenge their 1-1 draw at Pittodrie last weekend when they play Hibernian tomorrow night in Edinburgh.
But in order to receive this redemption, Brendan Rodgers needs to win at Easter Road—something he has never been able to do in his managerial career.
In his two seasons with the club, the Irishman has yet to win in Leith, so if you’re a neutral football fan, tonight could be interesting.
Considering the significance of three points in the Scottish Premiership title race, few Celtic supporters will be monitoring the situation from that perspective.
Regretfully, because of their injuries, powerful duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Reo Hatate will not participate in the events.
More encouragingly, Japanese winger Daizen Maeda will be ready to go if needed after returning from his AFC Asian Cup duty, which coincided with Japan’s exit from the competition.
Brendan Rodgers suggests that Greg Taylor might rejoin the Celtics
Greg Taylor, a Scotland international, will also be sidelined tomorrow night as he recovers from a calf strain he received during the Hoops’ 5-0 Scottish Cup triumph against Buckie Thistle.
Despite his inconsistent previous play, Alexandro Bernabei has taken his place at left back and might play against Nick Montgomery’s team.
Rodgers has now suggested that Taylor might be back in the mix for the Bhoys’ cup match against St Mirren on Sunday at the latest, despite the uncertainty surrounding the position.
At the pre-match press conference, the 51-year-old said, according to the Daily Record: “We will see how he is for the weekend, but he is out on the pitch.” He is progressing pretty well; the only thing left to do is acquire the medical team’s approval. He will be prepared for the next game if it isn’t the weekend.
Celtic will welcome back Greg Taylor.
Because the Bhoys did not hire a left-back in January, Celtic will be keen for Taylor to return because they do not have many good options in that position.
This season, the 26-year-old has made 30 appearances in all competitions, tallying two goals and two assists [Transfermarkt].
Broadly speaking, Taylor ought to have greater competition for his spot in the team, but supporters will undoubtedly be eager to see him return as soon as possible.
