Cameron Carter-Vickers has left his family bursting with pride at his World Cup bow - so much so the Celtic defender's dad was left in tears.
The 26-year-old made one appearance in a triumphant win over Iran which booked a last 16 spot for the USA, which eventually ended in a 3-1 loss against Netherlands. It was the centre-back's only outing at the major tournament in Qatar but that was more than enough for dad Howard Carter, who was a basketball player.
His accomplishments come as no surprise to his family but that doesn't mean they haven't been packed with emotion, Carter-Vickers having won the Premiership and League Cup since joining Celtic from Tottenham in 2021. Dad Howard told WAFB : "He was around 16 when I realised he just might make it on the professional level. He got the most attention and most recognition from his peers by playing soccer, so that’s why he chose soccer.
