Defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has returned to training following his surgery at the end of last season.
The American centre-back could be back in the squad for the first league match, which is just over a week away.
Carter-Vickers, who underwent surgery to address an injury, has been working hard to regain his fitness. During the summer, he trained with the B team while the main squad was away in Japan, demonstrating his commitment to his recovery and readiness for the new season.
Great news as Cameron Carter-Vickers is back training with Celtic, per source to the player. Had a few matches with the B team during the summer as well to get back to full fitness. #USMNT

Celtic fans and team management will be eagerly watching the upcoming friendly match in Dublin, where Celtic will face off against Wolves. This match could provide a glimpse of Carter-Vickers’ readiness to return to competitive action. Following this, attention will turn to James Forrest’s testimonial match next Tuesday, another potential opportunity for Carter-Vickers to make his return to the pitch.
Carter-Vickers’ return to fitness comes at a crucial time for Celtic, especially given the recent injury to Alistair Johnston. His presence will undoubtedly bolster the team’s defensive options and provide a much-needed lift ahead of the new season.
