Celtic Injury Update: Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor to Miss Ross County Clash
Celtic will be without two key defenders for their Saturday match against Ross County, as Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor join the injury list.
Carter-Vickers has been out since being withdrawn during Celtic’s 5-1 Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava on September 18. Manager Brendan Rodgers hopes he’ll return after the international break.
Greg Taylor will also miss the match due to a calf issue, having been withdrawn at halftime in Celtic’s 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. Rodgers expects Taylor to return shortly after the international break.
Alistair Johnston, however, is expected to be fit for the match despite being omitted from Canada’s squad due to a back injury. Johnston trained with Celtic on Friday and was deemed okay by Rodgers.
“Cameron’s still not available, and Greg Taylor will miss the game,” Rodgers confirmed. “Greg felt a slight problem in his calf, so he will miss out. We’re hoping Cameron will be ready after the international break, and Greg probably won’t be too far after that.”
Celtic’s injury woes come at a challenging time, with the team seeking redemption after their heavy defeat to Dortmund. Rodgers will need to rely on his squad’s depth to secure a vital win against Ross County.
Key points:
- Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor will miss Celtic’s match against Ross County
