It has been a very mixed season for Auston Trusty.
The Celtic defender has found himself on the bench against Brendan Rodgers, re-finding his form under Martin O’Neill, and then playing as the only centre-back under Wilfried Nancy.
To nobody’s surprise, it has resulted in Trusty producing mixed performances, but he was back to his best on Saturday afternoon.
Celtic beat Dundee United, netting four goals, including securing a clean sheet, and Trusty was upbeat on social media.

Sebastian Tounekti praises Auston Trusty on Instagram after Celtic beat Dundee United
After going on Africa Cup of Nations duty, Sebastian Tounekti was thrown straight back into Celtic’s XI by O’Neill on his return to domestic matters.
When Trusty expressed his delight on Instagram at the champions of Scotland getting back to winning ways, Tounekti simply labelled him a ‘wall.’
Whilst Burton Albion goalkeeper, Jordan Amissah, who was at Ross County last season, told everyone to ‘Trusty the process.’
- Tounekti: ‘Wall 🔥’
- Amissah: ‘Sometimes, you got to Trusty the process.’
‘That’s more like it! +3 points 🍀’ wrote Trusty.

Trusty’s stats for Celtic against Dundee United
Celtic will need to bring in a right-sided centre-back during the January transfer window to balance out the backline following Cameron Carter-Vickers’ season-ending injury.
But in the meantime, it’s going to be Trusty and Liam Scales starting at the heart of defence.
Yes, the duo divided opinion, but they are better together, and that was a much-deserved clean sheet against Dundee United.
