Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers made a bold gesture to show his support for Rangers by standing on a table amidst the jubilant fans at Parkhead following his team’s title victory. The American player, relishing the moment of triumph, embraced a popular meme from Celtic lore, echoing Aiden McGeady’s iconic declaration “Unlucky Rangers, three in a row” from a video clip dating back to 16 years ago. Carter-Vickers delighted the crowd at the bustling nightspot Wunderbar with his spirited rendition of the historic quote.
Experiencing the festive atmosphere alongside his teammates was veteran goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is set to retire at the conclusion of the season. With their sights set on a double triumph, both players are eagerly looking forward to facing Rangers in the upcoming Scottish Cup Final, a long-awaited showdown after 22 years. Celtic’s undefeated record against their archrivals this season places them just one step away from achieving the distinguished double accolade.
Carter-Vickers’ defensive partner Liam Scales expressed his elation, describing the victory as an unparalleled experience filled with pure joy. Reflecting on his personal journey and transformation throughout the season, Scales conveyed heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to fully immerse himself in the celebratory moment, contrasting it with past instances where he felt like a bystander. Describing the bittersweet feeling of not actively contributing to the team’s success in the past, Scales now revels in the present achievement, cherishing the camaraderie and celebrating his newfound role within the team.
