The defender has been out of action for almost two months.
Cameron Carter-Vickers COULD make his return from injury against Lazio, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed.
The American international has been missing since the Hoops won away at Aberdeen in August after missing the end of last term with a knee problem, but his boss has been left wowed by how quickly he's come through recovery from a hamstring issue. No risks will be taken with him but ahead of the Champions League clash at Parkhead with Lazio on Wednesday, Rodgers hasn't shut down the possibility of him having some involvement against the Italians.
He said: “Cam, we wouldn’t take a risk unless he was fit. He has come through really, really well. He is further down the road than we thought. He has had a real good week of training and he’s been doing lots of other work out on the field before that. I said before that it might have been after the international break but he’s made great progress,.
"So we will just assess that to see if he can be in for the squad tomorrow and if he is, then obviously it would be great news for us.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
