Celtic Await Scan on Colby Donovan as Right-Back Injuries Mount

The shortage at full-back could push Anthony Ralston into an extended starting role during a crowded finish to the season.

Overview

  • Donovan, who was withdrawn in the 67th minute Sunday at Dundee after conceding a penalty in a 2-1 win, is awaiting knee scan results.
  • The 19-year-old had already pulled out of the Scotland Under-21 squad with a knee issue before returning to start at Dens Park.
  • Julian Araujo (quadriceps) and Alistair Johnston (setback during Canada training) remain out, though Martin O’Neill has said both could return before the season ends.
  • If Donovan is sidelined, Celtic would turn to Anthony Ralston for St Mirren on Saturday and a Scottish Cup semi-final the following week.
  • The uncertainty comes in a tight title race, with the gap to Hearts at three points and decisive league dates with Hibs, Rangers and Hearts still to come.
