CELTIC STAR VOMITS OVER AND OVER IN THE CAMP,CENTRIC HAS JUST RELEASED STATEMENT AS HE’S ‘TAKEN ILL” DURING TRAINING SESSION

In what has become an unexpected and worrying episode inside Celtic’s Lennoxtown training base, one of the club’s key senior players was forced to leave training after suddenly falling ill and vomiting repeatedly. The incident, which occurred during what was expected to be a routine mid-week session, has left supporters shocked and defensive in equal measure, with many awaiting updates from the club regarding the player’s condition.

Celtic had been preparing with intensity following the international break, with the coaching staff focused on keeping the squad as sharp, cohesive, and physically prepared as possible for the crucial run of fixtures coming up. The players returned in high spirits, with several of them pushing to regain full fitness after recent injuries. However, the atmosphere reportedly changed abruptly when one of Celtic’s most consistent performers became unwell in full view of the coaching team and medical staff.

Witnesses from inside the camp described the moment as “alarming and unexpected,” noting that the player had been participating normally up until the sudden onset of symptoms. According to early reports, he first appeared slightly dizzy during conditioning drills before dropping to one knee. Moments later, he began vomiting repeatedly, prompting coaches to immediately halt the session. The club’s medical staff rushed to attend to him while players stepped back in silence, clearly shaken.

Celtic officials reacted swiftly, escorting the player to an on-site medical room for immediate examination. The club, aware of the growing curiosity among supporters and the swirling reports online, released a short but clear statement confirming that the player had been “taken ill during training” and that he would be monitored closely over the next 24 to 48 hours. The message was meant to reassure fans while also preventing unnecessary speculation, but naturally, it only heightened the sense of concern surrounding the situation.

A Sudden Illness in a Crucial Moment

The timing of the incident could not have been more critical. Celtic are entering a packed period that includes league matches, cup fixtures, and European commitments. With the squad already stretched due to recent injuries, the coaching team has been pushing for a full complement of available players. The affected player, known for his professionalism and durability, had only recently returned to outdoor sessions following a spell on the sidelines.

Coaches had reportedly been pleased with his progress, praising his determination to get back to match fitness as quickly as possible. That made the sudden collapse even more surprising. Those inside the training ground said that at no point earlier in the session did he appear sluggish or unwell. In fact, he had been completing sprint drills, directional changes, and passing patterns with notable energy before the illness struck.

Team insiders say the training intensity at Celtic is high, especially under a coaching regime that values physical sharpness and tactical responsiveness. However, those same insiders stressed that the drills were not unusually demanding and that the session was well within the normal workload for players at his level of conditioning. That suggests the episode might not be directly related to training intensity but rather something more internal—fatigue, dehydration, a reaction, or a viral illness.

Club Protects Player’s Privacy While Ensuring Fans Stay Informed

Celtic have also been careful not to disclose too much too soon. Medical situations involving players can be complex, and clubs typically avoid adding confusion or pressure until assessments are complete. Yet, supporters naturally want to know who was involved, especially given how important multiple squad members are at this point in the season.

At this stage of the story, speculation began rising online about the identity of the player. Fans recognized that he was someone who had only recently returned from injury, a clue that narrowed potential names down, but the club kept silent out of responsibility and protocol.

It was only later, when reports were confirmed through reliable team sources, that it became clear the player involved in the incident was Alistair Johnston.

Johnston, a defensive stalwart and a player admired for his toughness, resilience, and remarkable work ethic, had not been expected to face further challenges after his return to full training. His presence on the right flank has been a crucial asset for Celtic across domestic and European competitions. The news that he was the one taken ill struck supporters deeply, prompting thousands of messages of concern across social media.

Johnston’s Recent Injury and His Road Back

The Canadian international has faced his share of knocks and setbacks in recent months. His recovery process had been carefully managed, with Celtic ensuring he did not return too quickly or push beyond medically approved limits. So far, all indications suggested he was moving in the right direction — progressing from gym work, to light ball drills, and finally to full-contact training.

His return had been welcomed not only by fans but also by the coaching team, who rely heavily on his positional intelligence, aggressive tackling, and attacking support down the right side. Johnston is often one of Celtic’s most consistent players, rarely coming off during matches and usually among the fittest in the squad.

Which is why the sight of him collapsing to illness was particularly startling.

What Happened During the Episode?

Witnesses emphasized that the vomiting was continuous, not a quick or mild episode. Coaches were said to be visibly alarmed, with the session immediately cancelled and the rest of the players instructed to return indoors. Some teammates reportedly attempted to offer support, while others kept distance as medical staff took control.

Initial checks suggested that the illness was not injury-related. Instead, it seemed to be either a sudden viral issue, intense physical reaction, or a stomach-related condition. However, until full examinations and test results are completed, the club cannot determine the precise cause of the episode.

The club’s spokesperson reiterated that there is “no immediate cause for panic” and that Johnston is “receiving appropriate care and responding well.”

Impact on Celtic’s Upcoming Fixtures

While the priority remains Johnston’s health, Celtic must also consider potential implications for squad selection. The next round of fixtures includes key matches that will influence both league standings and European positioning. Should Johnston require rest or additional testing, Celtic may need to adjust their defensive structure.

Fortunately for the club, they have depth in certain defensive areas, but few players replicate Johnston’s unique blend of physicality, pace, and tactical discipline. His absence — should it be necessary — would unquestionably be felt.

Support From Fans and Teammates

The response from supporters has been overwhelmingly supportive. Many Celtic fans have acknowledged that health always comes first and have encouraged the club to prioritize his full recovery over rushing him back. Messages such as “Take all the time you need” and “Football can wait — get well soon, Alistair” flooded fan pages and Celtic forums.

Teammates reportedly checked on him after training and have been reassured that he is in stable condition. Several of them emphasized that such moments remind players and fans alike that behind the performances and rivalries, these athletes are human beings dealing with real life and unexpected health challenges.

Looking Ahead

Celtic will continue monitoring Johnston closely over the coming days. Further updates are expected as medical assessments progress, and the club is likely to provide clarity once they have definitive answers.

For now, the priority is ensuring his full recovery, providing him with complete medical support, and managing the expectations of supporters who understandably hope to see him back on the pitch soon. The club remains confident that this is an isolated health episode and that Johnston will return once he receives medical clearance.

What is certain is that Celtic fans, despite their concerns, are standing firmly behind him — wishing him strength, good health, and a swift recovery.
