It’s a return to domestic action for the Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern after a humbling at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
Indeed, the Bhoys in the bar hope the visit of Ross County tomorrow night can help Brendan Rodgers’ side get back to winning ways following their 5-0 loss at the hands of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.
With that in mind, quotes from Rodgers’ pre-match press conference (sourced in the Daily Record) have proven rather promising today.
He’s revealed that key defender Dedryck Boyata could soon be set for a return to action after missing the last few months. Celtic have suffered a bit of a crisis in defensive areas over the last few months, with Erik Sviatchenko also suffering an ailment.
As a result, the likes of Nir Bitton and Mikael Lustig have had to be deployed in those berths, so having the Belgian back after a knee problem could be huge for the Hoops.
A decision will be made tomorrow as to whether the former Man City youngster can play against Ross County, though his return, in general, is a big boost for the Bhoys.
“We’ll assess over the next 24 hours whether he’s going to be available or not”, said Rodgers.
Landlord’s Verdict:
Boyata alone wouldn’t have stopped PSG running riot, though his return to fitness for the games against Bayern Munich (in no sort of form, really) and Anderlecht could be massive.
