As a result of the Celtic star’s performance against Aberdeen, Cameron Carter-Vickers was awarded Scotland’s finest defender.

Since coming on loan in 2021, Cameron Carter-Vickers has been Celtic’s best defender.

Under both Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou, the American has flourished at

center-half and assisted the team in winning seven titles while he has been at Celtic Park.

The big man’s performance during Celtic’s 5-1 thumping of Aberdeen on Tuesday night is therefore not surprising.

As the game clock ran down, Carter-Vickers, who was at ease and convincing at the back with Auston Trusty,

was unfortunate to give up a goal late on that was scored by Shayden Morris.

In front of 58,000 spectators in Glasgow, the Premiership leaders were fortunate to

have already scored four goals of their own before Daizen Maeda made it five in stoppage time.

According to Stephen McGinn, Celtic’s Carter-Vickers is the greatest in the nation.
The 27-year-old was praised by BBC Sportsound co-commentator Stephen McGinn

for one particular time during the action when he recovered after Dons star Topi Keskinen ran in behind him.

Before his marker was able to recover and guide him into his weaker foot as the threat was avoided,

the Finn used his speed to find himself goal side of CCV.

The former Tottenham Hotspur academy player’s defensive performance was typical,

and McGinn showed supporters how hard the international defender’s skill was to execute.
