The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic could receive a squad boost ahead of their match at Hibernian, with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston potentially returning to the bench if their recoveries progress smoothly. Manager Martin O'Neill also confirmed Callum Osmand is expected to be available following cramp, while Jota is already back and Landon Emenalo has returned from rehabilitation.

Writer Phillip Cooney argues that while the returning players strengthen defensive and attacking options, Celtic's midfield still lacks balance. Cooney believes the club must address recruitment in the January transfer window after failing to sign Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis during the summer.
