Brendan Rodgers explained the decision to leave Cameron Carter-Vickers out of Celtic’s match against Kilmarnock on November 10, 2024, highlighting that it was a precautionary measure. Carter-Vickers, who has a history of injury issues, had played three games in less than a week—against Dundee, Aberdeen, and Red Bull Leipzig—leading to some fatigue in his hamstring. Rodgers stressed the importance of not taking any risks with the player, especially considering his recent injury comeback.
Rodgers noted that the artificial pitch at Kilmarnock could further strain Carter-Vickers’ hamstring, and with the depth of Celtic’s squad, there was no need to risk an injury setback. Despite missing the Kilmarnock match, Rodgers confirmed that the defender would be ready for Celtic’s next fixture against Hearts at Tynecastle in 13 days. This cautious approach underscores Celtic’s focus on managing Carter-Vickers’ fitness throughout the season, ensuring that he remains fit for key fixtures without enduring further damage to his hamstring
