Ahead of Celtic’s midweek match against Dundee, Brendan Rodgers has hinted at the potential return of two important players. Cameron Carter-Vickers, recovering from a toe injury, and Greg Taylor, who has been sidelined for the past four games, are both in the mix for selection on Wednesday night.Cameron Carter-Vickers made his return on Sunday in Celtic’s victory over Motherwell, with a short appearance to begin rebuilding his match fitness. Brendan Rodgers is cautious about reintroducing him too quickly after his time out but was glad to see him back on the field. Speaking to Celtic TV about the comeback, Rodgers said, “Cameron Carter-Vickers came in and got some game time, which was good for him. He needs to build up that match fitness.”Greg Taylor was also included in the squad on Sunday, though he didn’t take to the field. His place on the bench signals he’s nearing a return and may play a part on Wednesday. Rodgers commented on Taylor’s status, saying, “Greg Taylor was on the bench. Didn’t feature but it makes hopefully a lot of them available for Wednesday, and we will see about one or two others.”**Pivotal Night in the Premiership Title Race**
With Celtic narrowly leading the Premiership on goal difference, Wednesday’s clash holds high stakes. Aberdeen, just behind Celtic, will face Rangers the same evening, making it a potentially defining moment in this early stage of the title race. A victory over Dundee would not only maintain Celtic’s lead but also put added pressure on both Aberdeen and Rangers in their Pittodrie showdown.
Rodgers, aiming to keep his squad fresh and competitive, will be bolstered by the potential returns of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor in defense. The question of who Rodgers may ultimately replace to make room for CCV remains a key discussion point. Meanwhile, Alex Valle has been steadily improving as a left-back option, meaning Taylor’s place in the lineup isn’t guaranteed even when he regains full fitness.
