Cameron Carter-Vickers addresses Carl Starfelt's Celtic departure
Cameron Carter-Vickers admits he was sad to wave goodbye to his Celtic central defensive partner Carl Starfelt.
He said:"I think it's always sad when you lose a teammate – especially when you’ve played so closely with them. For him , it was the right decision to move, and we wish him nothing but the best. I think that all defensive partnerships take a bit of time. I think that’s just the nature of the position so for me now it's all about focussing on trying to build connections with new team-mates and new players and try and build that connection as strong as possible.
"I think we can build a fresh partnership and understanding in defence as you can see the qualities that Maik has, and you see them every day in training. He’s a very very good player and it just takes time. All defensive connections take time and that’s just what we and the team need."Maik's very good on the ball, he’s a very good progressive passer on the ball.
The centre-back decided to undergo a knee operation immediately after Celtic's 1-0 win over Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden back in April after playing through the pain barrier for his club. This led to him missing the close season period, and being unavailable for the final six fixtures of the campaign.
