Celtic are facing a potential setback with defender Cameron Carter-Vickers seen leaving Celtic Park in a moon boot following their 3-0 victory over Rangers.
Although Carter-Vickers completed the match, he appeared to be in discomfort towards the end, raising concerns about his fitness.

The silver lining is that Carter-Vickers was able to walk, suggesting that the injury might not be overly severe. However, the timing is less than ideal for Celtic, as they head into a packed schedule post-international break, including matches against Hearts in the league and Slovan Bratislava in their Champions League opener.
Having their big players fit is key for the Hoops.
The international break could serve as crucial recovery time for Carter-Vickers, but Celtic will be eager to have their key defender back in action given the challenges that lie ahead.
Hopefully, it’s nothing too serious and the club has put him in the moon boot as a precaution.
I’m glad we kept most of our players you could see understanding of our midfield and our back four slater had a good game my hearts in my mouth with him but he comes through I was the same with carfelt I wonder if it’s having Taylor there I just don’t know always looks awkward on the left maeda is always covering them rangers danger was suppose to come down our left but we coped well snuffed it out so hats off to our left side newbhoys nice introduction got mixed up with johnston and engils forest done what he was told no more our passing was poor especially second half breakaways Rodgers wouldn’t be happy kyoko through on goals poor finish chance to put khun one one with goal keeper careless pass rangers had a few chances when Celtic dropped a few gears can’t do that in Europe
