Joe Hart says he loves Celtic warrior Cameron Carter-Vickers.
And the Parkhead keeper admits he’s delighted the defender now has a chance to be pain free after battling through the mill once again for his team. Carter-Vickers produced another colossal performance in the heart of the backline to help earn the clean sheet which secured his side’s berth in the Scottish Cup Final.
The American star again fought against a knee injury to take his place at Hampden and Hart was left in awe at the bravery as he hurled into a succession of blocks and tackles. Carter-Vickers’ season is now over as he heads for an operation and the keeper said: “What an exceptional player. Whatever happens in the future happens, but what a top player. What a top professional. I love him. He deserves to be pain free. You do want him back as quickly as possible, but he’s a not just a great centre-half, he’s a person who’s been gritting his teeth and sticking his boots on for us.
