This international break will be especially interesting to Celtic supporters because two of their own, Alistair Johnston and Auston Trusty, will be playing each other.
This Saturday’s Canada vs. USA game at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City will be a unique opportunity to watch club teammates compete against each other while serving abroad.
On deadline day, Auston Trusty, who cost £6 million to join Celtic from Sheffield United, was called up to the US national squad. This is just after he moved to Celtic, where he hasn’t made his debut, and it’s his first call-up in more than a year. In the Glasgow Derby, which saw Celtic defeat their city rivals 3-0, Trusty did not see action as a substitute.
However, Alistair Johnston will play for Canada after making an impression in the Copa America, when the team advanced to the semifinals under the direction of Jesse Marsch, their new coach. Johnston, who made his Celtic debut in the Glasgow Derby, has established himself as a reliable right-back.
Given that Cameron Carter-Vickers is currently recovering from a slight injury, his omission from the US squad is noteworthy but acceptable. Celtic needs him to heal quickly because they have a lot of big games coming up after the international break.
