Celtic manager **Brendan Rodgers** has made seven changes to his starting lineup for the match against **St. Johnstone**, following their win over **Falkirk** in the League Cup. One of the players retaining his spot in the squad is defender **Auston Trusty**, who has been entrusted with the role of right centre-back in the absence of **Cameron Carter-Vickers**, due to injury. Trusty will partner **Liam Scales** in the heart of the defense.
Signed from **Sheffield United** for **£6m** on transfer deadline day, this match presents a major opportunity for Trusty to solidify his place in the squad. With **Carter-Vickers** still recovering, Trusty’s performance tonight could determine whether he gets another starting role in Celtic’s upcoming **Champions League** fixture against **Borussia Dortmund**.
Rodgers’ decision to keep Trusty in the lineup reflects his confidence in the 26-year-old, and with Celtic seeking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, three points against **St. Johnstone** are crucial. The match kicks off at 5:45 PM and is being broadcast live on **Premier Sports**.
