According to a BBC analyst, the Celtic player has lost his spot in Brendan Rodgers’ starting lineup due to a teammate

Celtic is currently unstoppable.

Brendan Rodgers and his squad had a fantastic weekend after returning from their final international break of 2024.

Celtic defeated Hearts 4-1 at Tynecastle on Saturday evening, thanks to a magnificent second-half effort.

But things got better when second-placed Aberdeen lost to St Mirren, giving the Bhoys a three-point advantage at the top of the Premiership table heading into a difficult winter spell.

Rangers drew at home against Dundee United, leaving them 11 points behind Scotland‘s champions.

Celtic‘s bench strength is frightening, as evidenced by Adam Idah‘s two goals against Hearts, but the starting lineup is even better.

Allan Preston mentioned it while praising and applauding Rodgers’ abilities.

Celtic notified Auston Trusty that he will replace Liam Scales in Brendan Rodgers‘ XI.
Liam Scales was one of Celtic‘s most reliable players last season, but now he sits on the bench.

Not because Scales did anything wrong, but because of the high-quality summer signing Auston Trusty brought to the table.

Preston stated that he projected and expected Trusty to replace Scales in the XI several weeks ago, and it has finally happened.

According to the Scottish Football Podcast, the former Hearts player described the American as’magnificent’ and praised Rodgers for taking players to new heights.

“He is a proper manager, who knows how to get the best out of players and improve players,” according to Preston. “I’m sitting and watching; it’s wonderful to see.” As a Hearts fan, it’s not ideal.

“But as a football fan, you say, ‘Look at Johnston and Taylor coming in, inverting and adding an extra midfield player.'” Look at Kyogo‘s runs between the two center halves. Take a look at Kuhn; he comes short to go far. Takes people both inside and outside. Maeda is on the left-hand side. An excellent athlete who runs up and down the pitch.

“Then, in the back, I had a conversation with Pat (Bonner) earlier when we were at St Johnstone, and I told you ‘Trusty will play before Scales’. I believe he would, and he did. And he’s been wonderful. Scales will have a hard fight to get back in.”

Celtic has reliable statistics this season.
Trusty comes with a reputation from his time at Arsenal and Sheffield United in the Premier League.

His League Cup debut was a struggle, but it was just a matter of brushing off the cobwebs, and he is now proving his value.

WhoScored has evaluated his Premier League efforts at 7.27 and a decent 6.56 in Europe’s best tournament.
