Cameron Carter-Vickers.

May be worth the gamble.

 

Hopefully he’ll be fit enough to face the huns

 

He then went on to say he doesn’t know the extent of the injury. I see absolutely no chance of him playing on Saturday. If there’s any doubt, which there obviously is, leave him out. We can recover from a defeat on Saturday but winning the league if he was out for months, like Hatate, I can’t see us winning it.

 

Brendan Rodgers has addressed Celtic's injury concern over Cameron Carter-Vickers.

The 25-year-old was substituted during the champions' 3-0 victory over Dundee this afternoon.

The United States international went down while appearing to clutch his hamstring just prior to the hour-mark of the game. He has previously struggled with an injury in the same area earlier this year.

He walked off the field as Stephen Welsh was sent on as his replacement.

With Rangers next up for Celtic at Parkhead, there are obvious concerns about the defender missing the encounter.

However, it appears that the early diagnosis is that the injury could have been a lot worse.

Rodgers told Sky Sports: "Thankfully his hamstring hasn't gone, but he just felt a little bit tight. We've said to him before that if he feels anything, it's better letting us know.

"So he just started to tighten up a little bit, we were able to take him off, and Stephen Welsh comes in and was excellent."

Asked directly if Carter-Vickers would be fine to face Rangers and if he knew any other information about the knock, the Irishman added: "Nothing and anything. I don't know, the medical team will assess him and see where we're at in the coming days."

 

Please *, let the big man be fit for the huns game.

 

Even a half fit CCV has to start on Saturday as the guy is a born leader.

 

Brutal..

 

Clearly an issue there. 3 hamstring injuries in 4 months. Stop rushing him back!!

 

Seems to be every few months for the last while his hamstring has been pulling him up, hopefully nothing serious causing and don’t want him to pull it like last season. Doubt he’ll feature on Saturday.

 

Risk it for the 30th, it's the most important game of the year.

 

That Danny cosgrove is reporting hes looking ok and in for a massage and conditioning today. Fingers crossed, gives us so much more confidence at the back

 

Wonder if dundee holding up the restart by 4 mins caused it....

A * nightmare

 

I think Welsh will do well but there is no replacing CCV.

And as someone pointed out on the match thread Scales is closing in on enough bookings so he'll possibly miss a game soon.

 

Nobody that seen the game on Wednesday thought any different.

 

Said it a few weeks back, the big man is constantly injured.

 

Aye it will be a big miss no Cam tomorrow.


An important player calm and steady too
