Panathinaikos man reveals chat with Celtic star about Rangers tie

Panathinaikos defender Erik Palmer-Brown has lifted the lid on his chat with Celtic star Cameron Carter-Vickers as his side prepare to face Rangers in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier tomorrow evening. 

The Greek giants are aiming to turn things around, having lost 2-0 at Ibrox last week.

Ahead of the match, Palmer-Brown has spoken to Carter-Vickers, whom he is familiar with from the United States Men's National Team set-up. 

He said: "From Cam, all I really got was they [Rangers] brought in some new signings. He was like 'Eight or nine new players, so I'm not really sure'.

"But he was telling me about their right-back and all the players that he did know, and he was like 'They're a good team, and they're willing to push forward to get the win'. 

"Cam's been my friend for a long time, so it kind of cut off quickly about the football conversation and went into life because I've just had a kid and everything. 

"It was a good conversation, and with his career, and him playing in Scotland, I know [Auston] Trusty is there now, and what they did last season. So, congratulations to him. 

"But he's [Carter-Vickers] the man, and I mean, I always saw that coming for him to play at a high level. I know he loves Scotland, he talks so much about it. It was a really good conversation in that aspect."

Rangers take on Panathinaikos in the second leg of their second-round Champions League qualifier tomorrow evening. Kick-off is at 7pm UK time.
