Mixed fortunes for host of Celts stars on international duty

COOL AND CAM Carter-Vickers sat on bench as USA earned win and draw while Schmeichel starred for Denmark

IT was a mixed bag for Celtic's international stars during the latest break - with goals, injuries, broken records and even a full-blown brawl.

From Scotland’s World Cup charge to Tunisia’s historic qualification, the Hoops were represented across the globe as Brendan Rodgers kept a close eye on his jet-setting Bhoys.

Here, Record Sport delivers a roundup on how their travelling contingent fared as all eyes turn back to domestic duties.

The defensive duo both featured in Scotland's crucial wins over Greece and Belarus, which moved Steve Clarke’ side within two victories of the World Cup.

With just one 90 minutes under his belt this season, Tierney had to settle for two sub appearances for his country.

Right-back Ralston, meanwhile, came off the bench in the 3-1 comeback win against Greece before starting the laboured 2-1 success over Belarus. Scotland can book their place in the USA, Canada and Mexico with back-to-back triumphs in Athens and at home to Denmark next month.

Stopper has been impressive for the Hoops this season after cementing his place alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers.

The ever-present was called up for his country's doubleheader against Portugal and Armenia as he looked set to add to his 11 caps.
