Carter-Vickers missed Tuesday night’s Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Germany and this afternoon’s Premiership win against Ross County at Dingwall due to a toe injury. .
But Rodgers, who recorded a narrow 2-1 win at Global Energy Stadium thanks to a second-half goal from Nicolas Kuhn and are now level on points with leaders Aberdeen, believes the US international will be available immediately. I’m optimistic. .
Speaking about Carter-Vickers and left-back Greg Taylor heading into the international break, he said: Cam will be taking part in training later this week and will then have a good week ahead of Aberdeen. That’s fine.
“Greg will have to wait and see. I thought young Alex Vallée did a good job today, especially in the second half. His positioning was a little bit better. But Greg, we hope he comes back. If he’s not ready for Aberdeen, that won’t be long.”

Meanwhile, Rodgers said referee Kevin Clancy had awarded County a penalty for a handball by Liam Scales, and that Ronan’s spot-kick was saved by Kasper Schmeichel when the goalkeeper went off his line.・He emphasized that he had no grievances about ordering Mr. Hale to take it back.
But he joked he was surprised that compatriot Hale, who has scored seven goals in 2024-25, wanted to score against his boyhood hero.
“I looked back,” he said. “Sometimes you want to move forward, even with such a slow run-up. There is no doubt that young Ronan was off the line every time he took a shot.
“I was even more surprised that Ronan scored against Celtic. I said to him: ‘Are you scoring against Celtic?’ Celtic boy? ‘But no, he had a great start to life in Scotland. I think he has four goals in eight games. He’s a really good reference for the team.
“Overall, Don has had a really, really good start to his career and his coaching this season. Thankfully we had a really good second half and got the result.”

“He’s obviously been doing great at Cliftonville. He’s come at a good age and with good experience and he’s shown he can score goals here. A game like today’s It will be helpful for your career.”
