There’s not much breathing space between Saturday’s win at Ross County and tomorrow night’s (Tuesday’s) trip to Tayside to take on Dundee at Dens Park. The 4-1 result at Dingwall was all the more enjoyable considering the icy conditions it was played in, and Cameron Carter-Vickers was delighted with the win and is looking forward to the Celts showing those same attributes against Dundee. The defender said: “As a group I feel we enjoy those matches. “The pitch wasn’t great and obviously it was freezing up there, but we saw it as an opportunity for us to show how good we are and show we can do it no matter what the conditions are. “Every away game, especially at this time of the year is always a challenge. So, again, we know we are going to have to be professional in our performance and perform at a high level to get the three points. ‘The squad are in a good place, putting in good performances and, for us, it’s about continuing that as well as we can and maintaining our levels in each and every game.’ There are games every few days now, and the schedule feels even busier with there being no winter break this season, but it’s something that Carter-Vickers is not only taking in his stride, but even enjoying. He said: “It’s always a challenge, but, to be fair, here I think we’ve got the squad to deal with that challenge. “We’ve got a lot of good players, some that are playing and some that aren’t, but everyone’s ready to step in when they need to and bring the team energy when needed. “For me personally, I grew up in England and played in the Championship down there where there’s no winter break, so for me it’s not too uncommon. “It’s difficult, it’s definitely demanding physically and mentally, but I kind of enjoy the games coming thick and fast, and you get into a rhythm of just playing every game. “Whenever I come back from injury I feel I am prepared to come in and play, but it definitely helps when you get a rhythm of games under your belt, and in the games you start feeling the flow and your performances will pick up at that point.”The Celt missed out on a few games earlier in the season because of a toe injury and he is delighted to be back in the running and said: “The toe was a difficult one because I played on it for a few games and it got just too painful to carry on because I need that rest time, but it also recovers fairly slowly, so when I first came back from it, I was still in a bit of pain. “I got some special inner soles and boots made which helped it along the way, but at this point now it’s pretty much back to normal. I’m still aware of it but no real pain.” He added: “I think right now we are performing at a really good level and, as I said, it’s just about maintaining that level and trying to improve and get better, but also just knowing that we’ve got to be consistent in our work, day in and day out, and that will show in the games.” More on the game Training Gallery: Dundee v Celtic –
