Celtic could be on the verge of a significant lift in their title pursuit with Cameron Carter-Vickers potentially available to return against Motherwell on Sunday. [SunSport]
Following a home draw with Kilmarnock that left them two points adrift of Rangers, Brendan Rodgers’ side has felt the absence of the American defender, conceding three goals in the last four matches.
Carter-Vickers has resumed training at Lennoxtown without any further complications this week, setting the stage for a potential inclusion in the crunch tie at Fir Park.
His comeback could not be timelier, as Celtic look to fortify a backline that has appeared vulnerable in recent outings.
The Celtic manager faces a decision on whether to reintegrate Carter-Vickers immediately into a starting XI that has seen Stephen Welsh and Liam Scales partner in defence during his injury spell.
Carter-Vickers’ presence in the squad alone could inspire confidence, injecting much-needed solidity and experience as Celtic enter a critical phase of the season. With the title race intensifying, his availability for selection against Motherwell could be the catalyst Celtic need to reassert their championship credentials.
As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on Rodgers’ lineup decision, with Celtic supporters hopeful that Carter-Vickers’ return can spark a turnaround in fortunes for the Hoops.
Brendan Rodgers will likely give more insight at his prematch press conference the balance has to be can Cameron play against Motherwell with club doctors confident he can come through it ok.
