Former Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson has highlighted two Celtic players as the best in Scotland.
Thomson was full of praise for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum McGregor, with Carter-Vickers starting this afternoon against Livingston, while McGregor himself missed the game but is said to be in contention for the Glasgow Derby next weekend.
Thomson said [BBC Radio Scotland], “I think the main players they have, I think Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum McGregor are two of the best players in the country by a country mile.
“So I think that when Celtic lose them they really struggle.
“I think Celtic are a wee bit more reliant on Callum McGregor and Carter-Vickers than Rangers would be if they lost one or two of their best players.”
McGregor and Carter-Vickers are undoubtedly two of the first names on the Celtic team sheet week in and week out, and the fact that Thomson made sure to point out their quality says a lot about just how good they are.
Brendan Rodgers will be hopeful that each player can contribute hugely in the coming months.
With Scottish football now in the business end of the season, it is time to see each player at their best if Celtic are to retain the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup.
