Cameron Carter Vickers ready to be Celtic colossus vs Atalanta as star man signals the green light

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celtic were handed a huge boost as Cameron Carter Vickers returned to training ahead of the Atalanta clash.The big American has been a massive hiss in the heart of the Hoops defence, with his absence notable as they shipped seven on a humiliating night out on the continent against Borussia Dortmund on matchday two.

Punters also pointed to a Carter-Vickers shaped hole in the backline as Aberdeen roared back from 2-0 down in the weekend as the top two played out a celtic Park slobberknocker as both finally found an opponent who could stop them.Now Carter-Vickers looks like he'll be back for Bergamo after he was snapped training with his Celtic teammates ahead of jetting out Italy later this afternoon.

He had been back on the grass ahead of the Dons clash, but that came sooner than was safe ahead of such a big Euro night for the champions.Rodgers said before the game with Aberdeen: "I think what we’re conscious of with Cam is he had a wee bit last season where he was in and out, even though it’s a totally different injury this time.“It’s one where we were told at the time, it could’ve been anywhere between two and three months, but it’s just not wanting to push him back in too early, which might then set him back, so he’s doing really, really well.

He still has a discomfort there, not as bad as what it was for the Bratislava game, but we don’t think he’s too far away from being where he wants to be.
