Celtic’s Martin O’Neill provides an injury update on defender Alistair Johnston after the Canadian international was forced off early in his comeback against Hibernian. Multiple outlets report Johnston’s return ends after about 20 minutes at Easter Road, with him limping off the pitch.
The match itself is also referenced across coverage: Celtic come from the game to win 2-1, with the result framed as a positive performance by several reports. Belfast Telegraph highlights that O’Neill outlines an injury concern following the Celtic win, while Soccer News similarly focuses on the injury as the main negative in an otherwise strong showing. Yahoo Sports and both Daily Record reports centre on O’Neill’s immediate reaction and the timing of Johnston’s exit.
Across sources, the main differences are in how the injury is described (including language such as “prolonged” concern or “only blot”) and the emphasis on medical scrutiny versus the match context and O’Neill’s stance.
