Is Calvin Miller on borrowed time at Celtic after what Brendan Rodgers decided today?
A penny for the thoughts of Celtic defender Calvin Miller.
The 21-year-old could have been forgiven for thinking it was his time to shine at Celtic after returning to Parkhead following a loan at Dundee earlier this season.
After all, Kieran Tierney has been injured and Emilio Izaguire is, well, inconsistent at the best of times.
But it looks like Miller’s Celtic career might be over after what Brendan Rodgers did today.
Rodgers, without Tierney for the Scottish Cup visit of Airdrie, didn’t even name Miller on his bench and opted to go with Izaguirre at left-back instead.
Instead, the Northern Irish manager made the Celtic academy graduate available for a reserve game at Arbroath. To put that into context, Karamoko Dembele, a 15-year-old, was on the bench for the Hoops, while a mystery ‘trialist’ started.
It speaks volumes for Rodgers’s faith in Miller and it looks very much like his days at Paradise are numbered.
He has made four Premiership appearances for the Bhoys, but none since May.
