THE GOAD FATHER

Carter-Vickers admits he should to try to stop winding up fierce foes Rangers

- By Ryan McDonald

CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS is a quiet and unassuming figure. Built like a tank, the man-mountain prefers to do his talking on the pitch.

But when it comes to popping open the champagne? He is front and centre of the party.

The big fella went viral in December as he celebrated with his Celtic team-mates at the home of darts in London, less than 24 hours after lifting the Premier Sports Cup.

Carter-Vickers hit the bullseye by parading a sign scrawled with the number ‘119’ after the champions had overtaken Rangers’ cherished trophy haul.

Giddy Hoops fans shared the wind-up far and wide online but Carter-Vickers has now exposed the true story by pinning the blame on the chief instigator.

He said: “That sign, I didn’t actually write it, it was written by Stephen Welsh. I was thrown under the bus! I was the stupid one to pick it up and hold it up.”

Carter-Vickers has already endeared himself to the Parkhead faithful as the best defender in the country. But that picture only further enhanced his elite standing.

Especially when you consider just months before, the fans’ favourite was captured rubbing Gers’ noses in it during a title-winning bash at Glasgow’s nightspot Wunderbar.

Carter-Vickers was filmed standing on a table as he broke character by shouting: “Unlucky Rangers, three-in-a-row.”
