Cameron Carter-Vickers has made important strides in his comeback attempts but Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will continue to be cautious over the defender following Auston Trusty's "immense" display in Italy.Both Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor are pushing to return from toe and calf injuries respectively ahead of Sunday’s William Hill Premiership encounter with Motherwell at Fir Park.Carter-Vickers has now missed six games, but Trusty delivered his best performance in a Celtic jersey as the Hoops held Europa League holders Atalanta to a goalless Champions League draw on Wednesday.Rodgers said: "We’ve got Cam back training with the squad, which is good news.

Greg Taylor as well. So, one more day to go and then we’ll see how they are, but hopefully they’ll be involved in the game."We’d like them to be available, I think that’s what’s important.

So, it gives us options, which is what you want as a coach. But obviously the team, defensively, was outstanding the other night."But to have those two guys back, who are very important players for us, will be good."Carter-Vickers trained before the last two games, but did not make the squad.Rodgers said: "Certainly when we were away it was the best he’d felt.

So he’s obviously done some training back here."We’re just being careful and listening to him really to not want to force it really if it’s not right.
