‘Brilliant’… Kris Boyd so impressed by 26-year-old Celtic player despite defeat to Hearts on Sunday
Kris Boyd was full of praise for Cameron Carter-Vickers after Hearts had a goal disallowed against Celtic, with the Hoops centre-back managing to play Lawrence Shankland offside.
Sunday proved to be a miserable day for Br꧅endan Rodgers’ men. They were beaten 2-0 at Tynecastle, throwing away the chance to move to the top of the Scottish Premiership 🐈table.
Ad🃏am Idah had a penalty saved, and Hyun-jun Yang was sent off shortly after. Hea♛rts then took the lead, with Jorge Grant scoring from the penalty spot. And the home side thought they had doubled the lead just before half-time, with Lawrence Shankland finding the bottom corner.
Kris Boyd praises Cameron Carter-Vickers after Celtic defeat
The flag did not go up on the field. However, the VAR – after a long look – did rule the goal out, with 💮Shankland going a fraction of a second too early.
But, speaking on (broadcast on 3/3; 14:20), Kris Boyd suggested that what Cameron Carter-Vickers did just before♕ Shankland rece🍬ived the ball should not go unnoticed.
“I think it’s brilliant from Cameron Carter-Vickers as well. We speak about strikers bending their ru𒉰n. He actually came, make that step to allow Shankland to go to give him every opportunity to be offside, because he knows he’s not going to get there to close him down, or Scales is not going to get there to close him down so the only chance he’s got is to play himself offside. It’s good defendin𓂃g, and luckily enough for Celtic, he gets away with it,” he said.
Very bad day at the office for Brendan Rodgers
There really⛎ were not many positives from Celtic to t💞ake from the game. But they may well feel that two of the three marginal decisions in the first-half went against them.
Of course, all of that would have been irrelevant had Idah scored from the spot. But some ꦛwill feel that Yang was unlucky to be sent off. Meanwhile, many more will wonder how exactly Hearts were awarded a penalty at 0-0.
But Celtic were really not at the races against Steven Naismith’s side. And had it not been for Carter-Vickers’ quick thinking, they would have gone into🥂 the second-half 2-0 down.
