Celtic don't need an Alistair Johnston replacement, Colby deserves the opportunity

Celtic face a setback after Alistair Johnston is reported to be out for three months, but the article argues the answer may be internal rather than signing a short-term right-back replacement. It points to 19-year-old homegrown defender Colby Donovan, praising his performance in the midweek 3-0 UEFA Champions League play-off first-leg win over LASK. The piece notes that Johnston’s absence comes amid wider context in Scotland duty, with Kieran Tierney and Donovan the only players on the pitch eligible for the national side during a national team window. It also mentions Tony Ralston as cover and adds that a potential move for Niko Sigur could increase options. The writer suggests Donovan could become a long-term successor if given regular first-team minutes.
