Cameron Carter Vickers reveals Celtic transfer dash to beat the deadline and Joe Hart's glowing fans review

Cameron Carter-Vickers has revealed his late night dash to complete a move to Celtic.

The Tottenham defender was a last-gasp arrival on transfer deadline day after the two clubs put together a loan deal at the eleventh hour.

He became Ange Postecoglou 's final signing and will add much-needed centre-back depth for the Parkhead side.

Carter-Vickers admits he was relaxing on the couch as the minutes ticked away towards midnight when he received the call.

And from there he rushed to Spurs' training round to get the deal signed.

He told Celtic TV: "It was all fairly quick, yeah, it was quick.

"100 per cent (it was nervous). I was relaxing at home, not really knowing what was going to happen.

"I got the call and had to rush to Tottenham's training ground to get it all signed off.

"As soon as I heard Celtic it was something I wanted to do. It's a massive club with a massive fanbase.

"And there's obviously European football as well, it should be good."

Carter-Vickers revealed that Joe Hart - a former team-mate at Tottenham - provided a glowing review of the Celtic Park atmosphere.

He added: "I'm here to win. I've come here and I know the expectation is to win every game so that's what I'll try and help the team do.

"I spoke to Joe Hart before I came up and he said the atmosphere's unbelievable.

"He said it's one of the best atmospheres he's ever seen, so I'm definitely looking forward to it."
