# Celtic: Adam Montgomery suffers hamstring injury

**Celtic defender Adam Montgomery is set for a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring issue, BBC Scotland’s [Ben Philip](https://twitter.com/BenPhilip_/status/1498663293371695105) reports.**

### The Lowdown: Montgomery’s move

Montgomery recently [penned](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/celtics-adam-montgomery-completes-aberdeen-loan-move-amid-ryan-christie-comparison-3549568) new terms at Parkhead through to 2025 and sealed a [loan](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/celtics-adam-montgomery-completes-aberdeen-loan-move-amid-ryan-christie-comparison-3549568) move to Aberdeen for the second half of the season late in the January window.

Since then, the left-back has made [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-montgomery/leistungsdaten/spieler/757272) appearances for The Dons, registering his first [assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-montgomery/leistungsdaten/spieler/757272) in a 1-1 draw with Motherwell last month.

He recently completed 90 minutes against Dundee United but was missing in the defeat to Hearts on Wednesday, with [Philip](https://twitter.com/BenPhilip_/status/1498663293371695105) providing an update prior to the loss at Tynecastle.

### The Latest: ‘Lengthy period’ out

[The BBC Scotland journalist](https://twitter.com/BenPhilip_/status/1498663293371695105) took to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon to share an update on Montgomery.

The youngster is set for a “lengthy period” due to a hamstring problem, with Jim Goodwin confirming he will be without the Hoops man for the next few weeks.

> “Aberdeen defender Adam Montgomery (on loan from Celtic) will be sidelined for a “lengthy period” after picking up a hamstring injury. Dons manager Jim Goodwin couldn’t provide a specific timeframe, but confirmed he won’t be available for selection for the next few weeks.”

### The Verdict: Will hamstring issues ever end?

Celtic have been hit with numerous hamstring issues this season, with [David Turnbull](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-turnbull/leistungsdaten/spieler/345760) and [Kyogo Furuhashi](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kyogo-furuhashi/leistungsdaten/spieler/489463) not featuring in 2022 due to their respective issues.

[Albian Ajeti](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdaten/spieler/195906) has also been out with the same problem but returned to the bench against St Mirren on Wednesday.

Montgomery is now the latest Celtic player with a hamstring injury, and Ange Postecoglou could be thinking if they’ll ever be a time when his squad don’t have a hamstring problem for the medical team to deal with.
