What they're saying

"
The calamitous Champions League play-off defeat by Kairat Almaty a year ago isn't lingering at the back of Cameron Carter-Vickers' mind as Celtic enter the fray at the same stage this season. The defender's European experience last season was a difficult one - he ruptured an Achilles tendon against Sturm Graz in October and didn't play for the rest of the campaign. All water under the bridge as far as Carter-Vickers is concerned as he prepares for Wednesday night's first leg against LASK.
