Rumours were rife last week about a potential new partner off the pitch.
But Celtic star Carl Starfelt is sure about one thing – he’s gutted at losing his defensive sidekick on it. The Swede’s relationship with Hoops striker Jaycnta Galabadaarachchi was confirmed, bizarrely by Sky commentator Ian Crocker, live on air during Celtic women’s SWPL clash with Rangers. But Starfelt is far more concerned at the break-up of his pairing with Cameron Carter-Vickers at the heart of Ange Postecoglou’s back line.
The American centre-back will miss the rest of the season after heroically putting in a man-of-the-match display in their Old Firm Scottish Cup semi-final win last Sunday. Starfelt and Carter-Vickers have become mainstays for boss Postecoglou and the rock that Celtic’s success has been built on this season. Now they’ve been separated, young Japanese defender Yuki Kobayashi will need to step up to the plate.
