Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Good news. Think it's vital he starts on Saturday so he's ready to go for the following midweek.

If the toe is still delicate we'll have to manage his minutes but all focus should he on keeping him fit for all CL games. Once that's over we'll manage without him domestically.

If the problems persist we need to be looking for a successor pretty soon. Which will not be easy.

 

Give him 45m at the weekend.

 

It’s vital we don’t rush him back more than him making they games. We’ve done this already and seen the story, rushing him back last season resulted in not having him for months.

 

Need to let him get 100% fit before pushing him. Saturday is probably too early. Atalanta will probably beat us whether he plays or not. So maybe target Motherwell for his return to the side.

 

Exactly, with maybe slightly more optimism for Atalanta now I’ve successfully repressed the Dortmund game

We’ve seen what happens with CCV if we rush him back. There’s guys that can be rushed back and it not seem to matter. CCV if we do, he’s out far longer. Long term thinking required here.

 

Will be fantastic to have him back and injury free from here on, I think having CCV, Trusty and Scales all vying for the #1 and #2 spots is gonna be great for us and push all 3 of them on.

 

The injury free bit I’m not convinced of now, Trusty for me is the guy in there when CCV is injured or has a niggle.

Been the best part of 2 years now he’s been injured really, played through niggles, played through needing surgery on his knee and giving one of the best performances as a Celtic CB his last he had in him before the surgery semi final against the Scum…


I love him. He is a class above. I can’t see him ever being fully fit for a season again.
