Celtic defender Auston Trusty has expressed his pride following the team’s resilient 0-0 draw against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League. Trusty, a £6m summer signing from Sheffield United, delivered a standout performance, helping the Scottish champions secure a crucial clean sheet on the road. The USA international was active throughout the game, showcasing his defensive prowess with key tackles, headers, and blocks.
After the match, Trusty took to social media to commend his teammates and celebrate what he described as a “great point” in a difficult away fixture. This strong showing is a confidence boost for the 25-year-old, who had faced some challenges since joining Celtic, including being behind Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales in the pecking order and conceding seven goals against Dortmund in an earlier group stage match.
Trusty’s excellent performance, along with Scales’ solid contribution, leaves manager Brendan Rodgers with a positive selection dilemma. With both players impressing, it remains to be seen who will partner Carter-Vickers in the upcoming matches, but Trusty’s confidence appears to be on the rise following his stellar display against the Europa League holders.
