Celtic fans here in the Tavern are delighted as their side look on course for securing the Scottish Premiership title, with only three league games remaining for the Hoops.
The Bhoys have dominated the Scottish Premiership once again this season and look on course for a domestic treble, with Rangers standing in their way of a place in the Scottish Cup final. Although, they did fail to make the most of their bitter rivals’ loss against Kilmarnock in their last outing, as the Hoops drew 0-0 with Motherwell at Fir Park.
Brendan Rodgers has always been open to giving players an equal chance in his side so far this season, as a busy schedule can have its drawbacks. And, with four games still left in all competitions for the Hoops, there’s still a fair few opportunities for some of the more fringe players to impress.
Therefore, here’s a look at TWO Celtic players that are surely playing for their futures under Rodgers…
Mikael Lustig
The Swedish international has lost his way in the side so far this season under Brendan Rodgers, as James Forrest continues to be used in the right wing-back position.
Indeed, the experienced defender has been one of the club’s key members in previous seasons and still could be handed some playing time from here on in until end of the current campaign.
Therefore, Mikael Lustig will need to work his way back into the manager’s plans before it’s too late, after failing to impress during his time on the field.
Charly Musonda

Charly Musonda is currently on loan from English Premier League side Chelsea, but hasn’t received anywhere near as many minutes on the field as he would have wanted.
Indeed, the Belgian has only made seven appearances since making the move in the January transfer window, as the likes of James Forrest, Scott Sinclair and Patrick Roberts are all ahead of him in the pecking order.
Therefore, if Musonda wants to move to Celtic Park on a permanent basis when his deal expires in the summer of 2019, then he’ll need to have a good impression on Rodgers from here on in.
