After Celtic’s Scottish Cup victory over St. Mirren, the manager of the team gave an update on two of his stars.

Following his absence from the Scottish Cup match against St Mirren, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has acknowledged that Liel Abada wasn’t in the “right” mental state to play.

In a thrilling 2-1 Premiership victory last week against Hibs, the winger came off the bench. He was left off the roster for the match against the Buddies in Paisley, where goals from Kyogo and Daizen Maeda ensured a 2-0 victory and advancement to the next round. In the quarterfinal, they will play at home against Livingston.

In his post-match analysis following the game, Rodgers touched on Abada’s absence for Celtic. He affirmed that he had a scheduled conversation with the forward and that he was not the appropriate person to be involved.

“He wasn’t in the right frame of mind,” the employer stated. I’ve talked to Liel a lot, and he’s going through a difficult moment. It just didn’t feel like him when he entered the game the other night.

We so provided him the opportunity to take a few days off and unwind. Next week, I’ll speak with him once more to see how he’s doing.

Regarding Alistair Johnston, Rodgers has also given an update. After being carted off the field during the Hibs game due to a head injury, the defender was found to have a minor fracture. For how long the Canadian right-back might be sidelined for, Rodgers is unsure.

“We’re just waiting to see on him again,” he continued. We plan to check in with him in ten days to see where he is. However, it can take four weeks or ten days. All we can do is wait and see.
