Auston Trusty got a kick out of being part of Team America at the heart of Celtic’s defence against Dundee the other night.
But the Hoops centre back knows the return of Cameron Carter-Vickers means there scrap for places in the side is now as tight as the bonkers race for the White House in his homeland.
USA aces Trusty and CCV go way back to their times in the American youth set up, having both been part of Tab Ramos’ under-20 World Cup squad in 2017.
But – surprisingly – the pair had never started the same senior match until Wednesday’s 2-0 win over the Dens Park men. The duo went together as comfortably as stars and stripes but the return to fitness of his big international pal has given boss Brendan Rodgers a dilemma ahead of Hampden, with Liam Scales also in superb form.
