Andy Halliday gushes praise on ‘unbelievable’ Celtic player who is 8/10 every Glasgow Derby

Celtic Park

The Glasgow Derby is one of these games that can either make or break a players career.

How many times have we seen players come to Scotland with a relative pedigree in the game but they collapse under the pressure of this fixture?

There have been many.

But there is one Celtic player that has stood up to the test of the big fixtures not only in this game but also in Europe.

And Andy Halliday was in awe of him after his display on Sunday at Hampden.

Speaking on The Open Goal podcast, Halliday said, “The past five or six Old F*rm’s, Cameron Carter-Vickers has been an 8/10 on every one of them.

And there’s so much stuff that goes unnoticed as well.

See every time there’s something that needs to be defended in these games, it’s him that’s there every time.

That Colak one where it falls, he’s touch tight on the block. See that one where Tav flashed the ball across the goal? That’s unbelievable defending.

Tillman’s got a tap in at the back post, he’s already marking Sakala and how many times do you see a defender divert that into their own goal?

The fact he’s actually managed to get enough contact on that and get that by the post.

Brilliant defending.”

CCv has been an absolute rock alongside Carl Starfelt in the heart of the Celtic defence.

A £6m bargain from Spurs, Carter-Vickers has paid his transfer fee back twice over with his performances already this season and I cannot wait to see how he fares in next seasons Champions League with some European experience now under his belt.
