“I’ll Do Whatever’s Needed” – Trusty Embraces Role in Celtic’s Defence

Auston Trusty’s performance alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers in Celtic’s win over Dundee marked a significant milestone for the summer signing, with it the first time he’s played on the left of the central pairing in Brendan Rodgers’ setup.

Trusty, who initially experienced some teething issues adjusting to Scottish Football, has shown marked improvement in recent Games, solidifying his place as a versatile option across Celtic’s backline.

Typically deployed on the left side of central defence, Trusty’s flexibility has been crucial, particularly when Carter-Vickers was sidelined with a metatarsal injury. During that period, Trusty shifted to the right side to partner Liam Scales, demonstrating a readiness to step up and adapt to the team’s defensive needs.

His performance in the Champions League draw against Atalanta was a standout, showcasing his ability to defend with composure in high-pressure situations. This adaptability has now become a valuable asset for Rodgers, who faces welcome selection dileMMAs with the form shown by Trusty, Scales, and Carter-Vickers.

Reflecting on his role within the squad, Trusty expressed his team-first approach: [RecordSport]

“I’ll do whatever is needed for the team. That’s my mindset and I think I’ve shown my capabilities to play any position along the backline. Whatever it is, I’ll give it my best go. I’ll do whatever it takes for the team if the gaffer asks me to do it.”

With his blend of adaptability and positive attitude, Trusty is quickly establishing himself as an essential piece in Celtic’s defensive unit, ready to rise to any challenge as Celtic push for honours on multiple fronts.
