Chris Sutton isn’t fooling anyone; Carter-Vickers’ Celtic comments should be taken seriously

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton criticized defender Cameron Carter-Vickers following Celtic's defeat to Rangers, describing the center-back's post-match comments as an excuse to shift blame onto the manager. The article argues that Carter-Vickers' remarks regarding Celtic's poor performance and tactical approach were justified given the disjointed display on the pitch.

Carter-Vickers, a vice-captain and five-year veteran approaching Johan Mjallby's appearance tally, expressed rare public concern over the team's lack of identity. The report highlights that senior squad members are demanding tactical stability and clear direction from the club's leadership amid a turbulent 2026/27 campaign.
