“He’d Bench Cameron Carter-Vickers…” Rodgers TOLD Not to Fret Over Cameron as Player who is Better Than Him is in His Squad Already…..

Brendan Rodgers Told to Bench Cameron Carter-Vickers for Celtic’s Match Against Dundee

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers faces a selection dilemma ahead of tonight’s Scottish Premiership match against Dundee at Parkhead. Former Celtic player Peter Grant suggests that Rodgers should not rush Cameron Carter-Vickers back into the starting lineup, despite his return from injury.

Grant argues that Auston Trusty has performed well in Carter-Vickers’ absence and dropping him would be unfair. “Well, I thought he wouldn’t have started yesterday because I think it would have been unfair on Trusty and Scales because I thought both of them were excellent in midweek,” Grant said.

Grant praised Trusty’s performance, saying, “Auston Trusty has done absolutely nothing wrong. He’s defended ever so well. His distribution has been much better than I thought, especially playing on the opposite side, not being a natural right footer. And he’s got pace. You know, he’s not let him down, defends his box really well. So as a centre half, he’s got all attributes.”

Grant recommends keeping Trusty in the lineup, allowing Carter-Vickers more time to recover from his injury. This decision would also be beneficial for the team, as it would not disrupt the momentum built by Trusty’s recent performances.

Celtic’s last two games against Motherwell and Atalanta saw Trusty rated highly, with an 8/10 against the Italians and 7/10 against Motherwell. His form has eased concerns about rushing Carter-Vickers back into the lineup.

While Carter-Vickers is a key player for Celtic, Grant’s suggestion to prioritize Trusty’s continuity and Carter-Vickers’ recovery makes sense. Rodgers will have to weigh his options carefully ahead of the match against Dundee.

Ultimately, the decision lies with Rodgers, and Celtic fans will watch with interest as he decides whether to start Carter-Vickers or Trusty against Dundee.
