Celtic faces goalkeeping struggles amid midfield challenges
Summary

Celtic's goalkeeping issues have surfaced as both Viljami Sinisalo and Sam Johnstone struggle with form. Following three consecutive losses, concerns have grown about Sinisalo's ability to retain the starting position, especially after a poor performance against Rangers. The club had hoped to sign a new goalkeeper over the summer but failed to do so. Head coach Martin O’Neill is under pressure to find consistency in that position as the team aims to revert to winning ways. Celtic’s next match will be pivotal in assessing the squad's resilience and goalkeeping performance.
