Celtic could reportedly welcome Filip Benkovic back into the team tomorrow after a two-week absence.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic might have fit-again Filip Benkovic back for tomorrow’s trip to St Johnstone.
The Leicester City loanee hasn’t kicked a ball for Celtic since the 2-1 defeat by Kilmarnock last month.
But The Scottish Sun has reported that Benkovic, a £13 million signing by the Foxes in January, could return for tomorrow’s clash.
If true, it’s a major boost for the Hoops.
Not only does it give Brendan Rodgers the option to pair Benkovic with Dedryck Boyata once again, but it also puts Jack Hendry back on the bench.
The 23-year-old Scotland international has endured a dismal start to the season and was slammed by Celtic fans yet again for his performance in Thursday’s defeat by Salzburg.
But with Benkovic back in the first XI, it should give the former Dundee centre-back a bit of respite.
