Relief for one of the world’s busiest players

87

Most of us considered Cameron Carter-Vickers unfortunate not to be more involved in last year’s World Cup in Qatar.  The US international featured in only one match.  This international break, Cameron came off the bench in both US games; against Germany and Ghana – reward for his form since December, as Celtic collected a treble.

That’s now four appearances since injuring his hamstring in August, although he has yet to put in a full 90 minutes.  That achievement will hopefully come on Sunday.

Callum McGregor does not often watch games from the substitutes bench, as he did in Lille last night.  Some fleeting relief for one of the world’s busiest players.  We have talked about this before, but at 30, Callum has to plan the remainder of his career.  His body will eventually push back against continual exertion, just as it did with Scott Brown.

Brendan Rodgers has many challenges: pressure to win every game domestically, then having to make the huge step up for Europe, with few genuine advantages.  One, though, is the luxury of winning many games early, another is having central mid options.  He should make the most of them.

  1. Tom McLaughlin on

    BADA BING

     

    Green Brigade given no tickets for Hearts and Hibs and not getting their cards activated for Madrid apparently

     

     

    Been all over social media all day but has been debunked.

  2. JackieMac

     

     

    It is so good to see some really good calibre people putting forward a balancing view in the media.

     

     

    Piers is what he is but he did allow this guy the time and space.

     

     

    The BBC are a disgrace.

  3. geneology and local knowledge needed.

     

     

    i am searching for something alike to AUCHENSKEOCH around the Kilmaurs area, I know of the Dumfries castle one, but anyone got an inkling to something similar in ayshire ?

     

     

    a house, castle or farm maybe ?

  4. Peter Grant must have played over 300 games for Celtic I would have settled for 1

     

    never my favourite but remember on the whole this was not a great period for Celtic

     

    ps when the Maestro lifted the cup Peter was our best player that day

  5. “Coneybhoy

     

    ,PS you can’t compare McGregor and Brown. One is a skilful player and good captain, the other was bang average and a very good captain. You can admire both but can’t compare”

     

     

    Very surprised to read that.

     

    ACGR and myself, on our return to Arbroath from every Home game, used to pick our MOTM. We would start with `Not counting Broony` as he was always no 1.

     

    Apart from a shaky start this season, the same could be said for Calmac when he took over.

     

    Opinion , I kow but still very surprised that you could assess Broony`s Celtic career as `bang average`.

  6. Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Another sunny spring morning here, 26 degs expected, better

     

    get the slip,slap,slop started.

     

    Reading back, I personally don’t like to denigrate any Celt or

     

    ex Celt who earned the right to wear the famous hoops, more

     

    capable people than me decided they were good players.

     

    Who am I to argue ?

     

    George Connelly, oh my goodness, what could have been.

  7. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Bada from Celtic Star

     

     

    The Celtic Star can confirm this evening that after speaking to a senior source at Celtic Park, this is NOT the case and the Green Brigade’s tickets have NOT been cancelled and barring any unforeseen circumstances they will be in their usual North Curve section for the game against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening.

  8. Mind you, on thinking back, I’ve had to bite my tongue

     

    with Wayne Biggins , Tony Cascarino. 🤣

  9. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Just watched “Bank of Dave” on Netflix.

     

     

    IMHO, you could find worse ways to spend 2 hours of your life.

     

     

    Standard feel good fluff but with an edge in the story …. and very well done.

    *well at least they tried Mick and I’ve NEVER read of them denigrating us, as for jimmy bone and jim melrose wtf they probably would have rather been elsewhere

  11. Delighted, as I made my way back to apartment (on hols in Benalmadena), to hear The Sash being sung with such gusto in Bar None. You do think these folks would take a day aff as the saying goes.

  12. TONTINE

     

     

    Thought it might elicit a response, thank you.

     

    Correct on both, and another wee erse I can think of.

     

    Hope you and yours all good over there.

  13. Off down to our fitba ground shortly.

     

    Local schools having a socca day as they call it.

     

    Hilarious watching 13 and 14 year olds who’ve

     

    never kicked a ball in earnest before playing in

     

    a game.

     

    Some think it’s basketball and catch the ball

     

    constantly lol, but most schools don’t have coaches,

     

    so I’m out with the leaflets to join our club.

     

    And you never know I might find the next Jinky or

     

    Paul McStay.

    Not much outdoors training today for the Bhoys returning from their various gigs. Wonder if any of them will be delayed?

    A meeting of the Shipbank Shipwrecks has been called for Friday 3rd November at Boulevard de Saltmarket. 11am onwards except Carpe Diem who will probably stagger in pished at 3pm.

  23. DAVID66,

     

     

    You enjoy your 31 degrees and don’t worry about us bhoys getting back up the road to Bonnie Scotland this weekend. At least the village I’m in still has one of its two roads unblocked by debris. Mind you there’s worse coming tonight. Ah, che sera.

     

     

    You and your missus enjoy your chilled beer in the hot sunshine. I will go and try to get a game with the chairs.
