Cameron Carter-Vickers Celtic debut a case of 'you make your own luck' for USA defender

His goal came with a huge slice of fortune on the side but that doesn't matter for Celtic new boy Cameron Carter-Vickers.

The American defender - making his Hoops debut in Saturday's 3-0 win over Ross County at Parkhead - scored the opener with a deflected effort from range.

His 40-yard strike was clipped over Staggies keeper Ross Laidlaw before an Albian Ajeti double sealed the deal for the Celts.

It was a crucial three Premiership points for a Celtic side amid a huge rebuild under new boss Ange Postecoglou.

They'll need some luck along the way for the project to work and, thankfully, Carter-Vickers is a great believer in perseverance bringing with it a touch of fortune.

The 23-year-old told Celtic TV: “I thought we played well, we persisted, they were they were tough to break down.

“It took some time to get the first goal and then the other two but I thought we played fairly well.

“I think there are things we can improve on defensively and going forward but I think it will come.

“Sometimes in those types of games you need a bit of luck – if you keep going, keep pushing forward, luck comes.”
