Celtic still need one more win to get over the finish line in the Premiership title race. With five games to go, that is considered more of a when than an if. At the same time though, the Hoops cannot rest on their laurels and must treat every game with the same respect. Of course, they will soon have to turn their attention towards the Scottish Cup final as well.
Celtic will be taking on Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the final of the Scottish Cup this season. It is safe to say that the Championship side has done a wonderful job to reach this stage of the competition.
Celtic got the better of the Rangers last weekend to book their place in the Scottish Cup final. On the day, Alistair Johnston ended up suffering an injury though and was forced off the pitch.
There seems to be good news and bad news regarding the situation of Johnston. He looks set to be out of action for a while. But on the other hand, it looks like he could be fit to take part in the Scottish Cup final if recovery goes according to expectations.
Celtic handed boost for Scottish Cup final against Inverness CT
As reported by the Daily Record, Johnston is likely to be out for three to four weeks. It depends on how he reacts to treatment. Celtic hope that the Canadian international will be fit for the Scottish Cup final against Inverness CT.
It has only been some months since Johnston joined Celtic. But he has done an incredible job in that time and become a key part of the team.
He was tasked with filling the boots of Josip Juranovic, who left for Union Berlin in January. And the Canadian international has done it seamlessly. Let’s hope he is fit enough to feature in the Scottish Cup final.
