Cameron Carter-Vickers.

He was excellent on the ball, especially from halftime onward.

 

There'll be countless amounts of toothless huns, greeting away in their lodges, trying to explain and reason wi how they didn't score from this....

What a bhoy CCV!

 

He's still undefeated in 90mins against them in all competitions in the 3 and a half years he's been here.

 

For me, he’s the best CB in my lifetime and I don’t think that’s controversial.

Van Dijk has been one of the best CB’s in the world. But in terms of Celtic, CCV is the best for me.

 

Made Igamane look like a wee boy

 

Thought he had a pretty poor first half by his standards, excellent in the 2nd half tho.

 

I think he shows incredible bravery and quick thinking to suck them into that, though. He doesn't back off as quickly as most defenders do in that situation (the brave part), which forced their player to make a decision and he deliberately leaves the least dangerous pass wide open (the intelligent part). And then after the pass was made, his acceleration was something else.

Most defenders back off much further until they reach the box. It requires real bravery not to, because if you do, no blame attaches to you for the almost inevitable goal. If you do what CCV did, it's better odds for your team but you risk being personally done by a pass or piece of skill.

 

The 4 v 1 was special but just as good was when Hagi puts it past him in box and CCV can't get to the ball but is sharp enough to get his body in the way instead and simply stops him dead without a foul. Superb.

 

Stopped a certain goal when it was 4 v 1. Barring that he was poor.

 

That block was ridiculous. He had no right to get to that one.

His one against Aberdeen recently was superb as well.

Something I noticed after the block today was that the players didn’t really react much to it. Also noticed as well that McGregor had no urgency to get back either he was just jogging back.

 

Colossal. Kept us in the game by denying them with that 4 v 1.

 

Because he knew Cam's there obviously, duh!

 

Does the fundamentals of defending perfectly. If he was 2 inches taller he’d be top end of English football. He is a bit too safe on the ball when teams leave him on it but our system should mean he always has an option to give it to AJ or a midfielder before his nosebleed kicks in.

 

I’ve never had more trust in a CB than CCV. He makes me think, and the guys infront of him clearly as well, that it’s ok he’s at the back to cover us. Defensively I’ve not seen better for us. Van Dijk and Mjallby included. Defensively that is, Van Dijk all round at us his career surprised no Celtic fan. Defending though, CCV surpasses him by quite a bit

 

One of the greatest defenders in modern Celtic history

Don’t think he needs the qualifier of modern history there either mate. Sheer defending he’s right up there. Very few matches him.

 

Image reminds me of the Maradona one v Belgium where theres 6 defenders around him trying to stop him.

4 Hun attackers still not enough to get past CCV

 

If he gives us 7+ seasons he could be in the conversation for making the all time team alongside Cesar

 

Wasn't his best game but we would have been 2-0 if it wasn't for him
