CELTIC may be out, but they are not down. That’s the message from Cameron Carter-Vickers, as the central defender reflects upon their Champions League campaign following confirmation of their exit from European football on Tuesday night.
The 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk meant that Celtic will definitely finish bottom of Group F, no matter what happens in their final match. Which just so happens to be against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
The disappointing points tally so far though is not a true reflection of Celtic’s level during the competition in Carter-Vickers’ view, and he firmly believes that there is an appetite within their dressing room to come back next season and show that they have heeded the harsh lessons from this term’s ultimately disappointing campaign.
