Matt O’Riley has shared details of a prank executed by teammate Cameron Carter-Vickers, aimed at Stephen Welsh.
O’Riley describes Carter-Vickers as a “loose cannon” within the team, particularly when it comes to orchestrating dressing room pranks.
For a player who comes across as so reserved and like he keeps himself to himself, it’s quite surprising to hear Carter-Vickers is up to this mischief.
The prank in question involved Carter-Vickers clamping Welsh’s car tyre, leading to an unexpected and somewhat embarrassing situation for Welsh.
Welsh discovered his clamped car and was forced to take an Uber to the American defender’s apartment to retrieve the keys for the clamp.
O’Riley shared the story on Celtic TV: “It wasn’t to me but Cameron Carter-Vickers is a loose cannon. I don’t know if everybody knows this, but he is.
“When it comes to pranks something clicks in his brain and he’s got a real joy about doing it.
“I think it is between him and Welshy.
“I’m not even sure I am allowed to say this, but I am going to say it anyway.
“He ended up clamping Welshy’s car tyre, driving all the way back home and Welshy went out to his car and saw what happened.
“He didn’t know what to do and ended up having to drive all the way to Cam’s apartment via an Uber.
“Cam then gave him the keys and then had to go back.
“It just shows the dedication he puts into actually seeing a prank through.”
Cameron Carter-Vickers is at Lennoxtown during the international break after a tough season with injuries.
Brendan Rodgers is managing the player’s game time, attempting to minimise the risk. He brings so much to the team when he plays, and you can see the team misses his presence when he’s off the pitch.
Hopefully he gets through the break okay, and is in the line up for Livingston away, if the medical team don’t have too many concerns about the plastic pitch.
