Celtic duo make it through Scotland game unscathed

Celtic duo Callum McGregor and Greg Taylor have made it through this evening’s game against Poland unscathed. Despite the game at Hampden tonight being a friendly, Steve Clarke named a strong team. The Celtic captain and the full-back started against Poland as the teams played to raise funds for UNICEF to support Ukraine.

Taylor was replaced by a former Lennoxtown kid, Aaron Hickey, after 66 minutes. Shortly afterward, former Celtic hero Kieran Tierney headed Scotland into the lead. Hickey, who left Celtic for Hearts in 2018, made his debut following another excellent season in Serie A with Bologna.

Callum McGregor was able to take a breather after another industrious performance in the middle of the park. In what is par for the course for the Celtic skipper, he was excellent in the centre of midfield once again. A quality footballer and an excellent leader. With Ibrox next Sunday, Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that the International team do not rely upon his captain in their next game – likely to be in Vienna against Austria.

Scotland will play Ukraine at some stage – hopefully once Russia withdraws and Ukraine overcomes – with a view to progressing the World Cup. Footballing is way down the list of the priorities in Kyiv and FIFA/UEFA should do all they can to make sure that the Ukrainians are accommodated during this awful time.

Hampden looked packed with supporters flocking to the south side of Glasgow to show support for UNICEF’s humanitarian appeals in order to support those suffering from the impact of Moscow’s aggression.
