Despite missing a significant portion of pre-season, Trusty expressed confidence in his upcoming contributions to the squad. As Celtic prepares for a domestic fixture against Kilmarnock, Trusty noted the challenge of playing on Kilmarnock's new hybrid grass pitch and emphasized the need for the team to maintain their own standards.
