CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS is on the brink of a dramatic Celtic comeback in tomorrow’s top-of-the-table clash with Aberdeen at Parkhead.
The Hoops’ defensive rock has missed four consecutive games after limping off with a toe injury near the end of the 5-1 Champions League matchday one home triumph over Slovan Bratislava exactly a month ago.
Fellow-American international Auston Trusty, a £6million deadline-day recruit from Sheffield United, stepped in against the Slovaks and remained in place as Liam Scales’ central back-four partner for the wins over Falkirk (5-2), St Johnstone (6-0) and Ross County (2-1).
HAPPY DAZE…Brendan Rodgers and Cameron Carter-Vickers celebrate the 3-0 derby success at the beginning of September.
He was also part of the visiting team routed 7-1 in Dortmund in the second outing in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
Now, though, it looks as though 26-year-old Carter-Vickers is ready for a return to action after being spotted in training at Lennoxtown this week, as reported by the Daily Record.
It’s shaping up to be a no-holds-barred encounter in the east end of Glasgow as this season’s Premiership juggernauts, who have both claimed seven successive victories, go head to head.
A full-strength champions’ line-up would undoubtedly boost Brendan Rodgers’ side in such a crucial confrontation.
