Cameron Carter-Vickers in line for Celtic deal after confirmed news - pundit

Cameron Carter-Vickers will be the next Celtic player to put pen to paper on a contract extension.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Rangers defender Alan Hutton suggested Carter-Vickers is another star player that the Hoops will want to tie down to new terms.

Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate became the latest players to put pen to paper on a contract extension at Parkhead, O’Riley committing to four years with Hatate signing on for five.

Anthony Ralston, Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi, Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda and Stephen Welsh have all signed on to new deals with the Scottish champions in recent months.

Carter-Vickers joined the Hoops on a permanent deal from Tottenham last summer after an incredibly successful loan spell in Glasgow and has firmly cemented himself as first choice at centre-back when fully fit.

The 25-year-old’s current contract is due to expire in 2026 but fans will be hoping to keep hold of the star defender for as long as possible.

Hutton praised the Hoops for tying down their top assets and suggested the centre-back could be next.

“I totally understand why Celtic are doing all this,” he told Football Insider.

“They have done really well tying down their main players and the likes of Carter-Vickers could be next.

“You can see that something is building, Brendan Rodgers is keeping his top talent but he wants to add one or two to it so they are definitely going in the right direction.”
