Celtic’s final signing of the summer transfer window, Cameron Carter-Vickers, has spoken to Celtic TV about his background, life in football and expectations in Glasgow.
During the short interview, the imposing defender revealed that he had called Joe Hart prior to signing for the Hoops. “I spoke to Joe Hart before I came up here and he said the atmosphere is unbelievable, he said it’s one of the best atmospheres he’s ever seen, so I’m definitely looking forward to it,” Carter-Vickers commented.
