Overview

• Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is on a season-long loan at Celtic from Manchester City and has yet to make a senior appearance.
• He was omitted from Celtic’s Europa League squad, limiting him to domestic opportunities unless later registered for knockout stages.
• His first outing since joining came for Celtic’s Under-21s in a 5-3 KDM Evolution Trophy defeat to East Fife.
• A report citing an internal Manchester City source says there are no plans for a January recall and forecasts game time after the current break.
• Local coverage highlights strong competition at centre-back with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Auston Trusty as Simpson-Pusey works for fitness and adaptation.
