In the thick of a tense title race, a light-hearted moment captured by Celtic players Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston might just encapsulate the current mood at the club. The pair, who both starred in Celtic’s recent 3-0 win over St Mirren, were spotted walking their dogs and sharing a cheerful moment in a photo posted online. The timing? Just as news of Rangers’ unexpected 3-2 defeat to Ross County was breaking.
The image, which quickly circulated among fans and on social media, shows both players with beaming smiles, enjoying a seemingly routine day out. Yet, the question arises: was this merely a coincidence, or did Johnston, known for his savvy social media presence, seize a perfect opportunity to subtly celebrate their rivals’ stumble?
While some may speculate on the intent behind the timing of the photo, it also highlights the camaraderie developing among Celtic’s squad. Since joining the club, both Carter-Vickers and Johnston look like they have formed bonds that appear to extend beyond the pitch.
This snapshot into their day to day lives comes at a crucial time for Celtic. Whether intentional or not, these pair know they need to give everything in the final five SPFL games if they are to land another title.
There is a bit of respite from the league next week with Celtic set to take on Aberdeen in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup.
