Cameron Carter-Vickers could return for Celtic AHEAD of schedule in a major boost to the Scottish champions.
The key defender is making solid progress on his recovery from knee surgery after missing the last month of the season to go under the knife in order to get back as quickly as possible for the defence of the Hoops' Treble and for the return of Champions League football. The 25-year-old was pencilled in for an end of August return, but the Daily Record state he is targeting the league opener with Ross County on August 5.
The centre-back was one of Ange Postecoglou's star men last term and is expected to be vital for Brendan Rodgers as he begins his second stint as manager. In a further boost he has jetted out to Portugal alongside his team-mates but it is expected he will only take part in light training at the warm weather camp and be given time to get up to speed.
