# Celtic: Cameron Carter-Vickers receives World Cup call-up

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers has been named in the USA’s squad for the 2022 World Cup, as relayed by journalist Mark Hendry.**

### The Lowdown: World Cup nearing kick-off

This weekend, the Hoops play their final game before the World Cup gets underway in nine days’ time, with Ross County making the trip to Parkhead in the [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/). After that, Celtic’s next match comes away to Aberdeen on December 17, in what is a unique domestic season across Europe.

A number of Hoops players will be able to earn a break during the World Cup, but one man in Ange Postecoglou’s squad who will be a key figure for his country at the tournament is Carters-Vickers.

### The Latest: Carter-Vickers in USA squad

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mhendry92/status/1590466776504356865?s=20&t=org53enlIzpoRfcAdTWGfA) on Thursday, Hendry relayed the news that the 24-year-old has been named in the USA squad, which he believes is just reward for the player.

The Football Scotland deputy editor tweeted:

> “Cameron Carter-Vickers is going to the World Cup with USA. Very well deserved as he’s been a rock for Celtic.”

### The Verdict: Richly deserved

Carter-Vickers has been a brilliant player for Celtic since arriving from Tottenham, initially on loan and then joining permanently, being hailed as ‘[immense](https://twitter.com/chris_sutton73/status/1510602583005700100?s=20&t=L1uP-YiC42_NllLqfo7Pig)‘ by former Hoops striker Chris Sutton.

This is just reward for his efforts, having won [3.6 aerial duels](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) per game in the league this season ([third-highest](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic) in the squad), along with enjoying a [91.7%](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) pass completion rate ([best of any player](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic) at Parkhead).

Carter-Vickers [could possibly be a starter](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/nationalmannschaft/spieler/341049/verein_id/3505) for the USA, and many Celtic fans – and Scotland supporters in general – will be hoping that he produces a big performance against England in the group stage, if selected for that game.
