Brendan Rodgers Welcomes Former EFL Manager to Lennoxtown

Celtic’s Lennoxtown training ground had a visitor today as Brendan Rodgers welcomed fellow coach Ryan Lowe, who recently parted ways with Preston North End.

Lowe, who managed Preston through 125 matches and narrowly missed out on the Championship playoffs last season, joined Celtic’s session as a special guest.

The visit provided Lowe with a chance to gain insight into the workings of a top-level team as he considers his next steps in management.

Meanwhile, in terms of Celtic team news, there were some notable updates. Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and James Forrest all participated in training, giving Rodgers a boost ahead of the crucial match. However, Greg Taylor was absent, potentially confirming his unavailability for the game, with Alex Valle likely to step in at left-back.

Lowe’s visit comes at an exciting time for Celtic, with tomorrow’s match against a high-flying Aberdeen side set to be a great encounter.

The sides will meet again in the coming weeks but in the Cup. The Dons meet Rodgers’ side in the semi-final of the League Cup on November 2nd.

Then Aberdeen stormed back in the second half with Ester Sokler and Graeme Shinnie goals, and they pushed hard for a remarkable winner. Cameron Carter-Vickers was again missing from the centre of defence with left-back Greg Taylor also out with Alex Valle in his place, and ex-Raith Rovers boss Gordon Dalziel said of a partnership with Auston Trusty and Liam Scales instead: “I don’t think the two centre-halves compliment each other.”
