Celtic defender Auston Trusty had yet another great night at the heart of the Celtic defence, with the USA international continuing a superb few months at the club.
After a shaky start to life at Celtic, Trusty has well and truly found his feet alongside fellow countryman Cameron Carter-Vickers, displacing Liam Scales.
However, after an own goal this evening, Trusty spoke of his reaction to Carter-Vickers’ own goal against Brugge.
He said: (Daily Record), “We have his back. I don’t think any defender, any player, wants that to happen to him. But, you know, sometimes it’s part of football. I’ve had own goals as well, so it’s one where you need a teammate to get your back.
“So I went over to him, made sure his head was up. With all of us, he knows that we have his back. You don’t want to make mistakes, but you feel fine to make mistakes, because you know your teammates have your back.
“The game happened so fast, so I’m not in that position. I’m looking away, I’m also looking, I’m trying to find my next pass as well, so I have to go back and watch it. But either way, he made the decision, we have his back.
“He showed his character and also the team showed its character. We bounced back and the game went on and we had plenty of life left in it.”

In an uncharacteristically poor moment from Carter-Vickers to pass into the empty net, Trusty took a moment to console him, showing the kind of human being he is and highlighting what the dressing room is like at Celtic.
The close-knit nature of the team has resulted in some great performances this season, but when things go wrong, it’s great to see teammates supporting each other rather than blaming them for mistakes.
