Celtic took a huge step towards securing the league title on Sunday afternoon, coming from behind to beat arch rivals Rangers at Ibrox.
Aaron Ramsey put the Gers ahead with just three minutes gone, firing home beyond Joe Hart after a great ball from Ryan Kent. Tomas Rogic equalised for the Hoops after seven minutes, sweeping home on the rebound.

Then Cameron Carter Vickers was the match winner just before the interval. He was first to react to a set piece before firing the ball home emphatically.
Ryan McDonald’s match ratings praised the defender, with the journalist having this to say about him: “Celtic must get the cheque book out and sign this man on a permanent basis. A colossal performance from the match-winning hero. Nervy start with a couple of misplaced passes but recovered to score the decisive goal with a low shot past Allan McGregor. Booked for a crunching tackle on Kemar Roofe and was involved in a penalty claim after Ryan Jack’s shot appeared to strike the USA star’s arm. Blocked just about everything that came his way, outstanding. 9.”
He had a great day all round, obviously his winning goal will be what grabs the headlines for the American international, but he was very good defensively. He made nine clearances in the game, won his only ground duel, had 55 touches and won seven out of nine aerial duels too as per SofaScore.
Carter-Vickers was also the highest rated player on the pitch according to the website’s ranking system. The result was huge for Celtic who look to have one hand on the title after moving six points clear of Rangers with a far superior goal difference.
