CCV and Celtic Win Scottish Title

The American Anchored the Defense to Another League Title in Scotland

Cameron Carter-Vickers played a pivotal role in Celtic's Scottish Premiership championship success as Brendan Rodgers' side secured their fourth consecutive league title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Dundee United on Saturday.

The American center-back has been a defensive cornerstone for Celtic throughout the campaign. He has played in 26 league matches and contributed one goal during a 5-1 win against Kilmarnock on April 12. His consistent performances helped Celtic establish an insurmountable 17-point lead at the top of the table over rivals Rangers.

This title triumph marks Carter-Vickers' fourth Scottish Premiership medal since joining Celtic initially on loan in 2021 before making the move permanent in 2022. The US international committed his long-term future to the club in January 2024 by signing a five-and-a-half-year contract keeping him at Celtic Park until 2029.

"Really, really good—I think for me the league title is the most important one," Carter-Vickers said. "You know, it kind of it shows the efforts and performance levels that you put in throughout the season so to get another one over the line is is a great feeling and something to be proud of."

Celtic's championship season featured dominant performances in both domestic competitions. The club had already secured the League Cup in December, where Carter-Vickers played the full 120 minutes in their penalty shootout victory over Rangers. The Hoops now have the opportunity to complete a domestic treble when they face Aberdeen in next month's Scottish Cup final.

Fellow American Auston Trusty earned a winners' medal with Celtic this season, though he wasn't involved in the title-clinching match against Dundee United. The twin American presence in Celtic's defense has contributed to the club's record-equaling 55th league championship, bringing them level with Rangers in the all-time Scottish title count.
