Video: World football has been stunned by an insane goal from Cameron Carter-Vickers
Celtic have taken a massive step toward clinching the Scottish Premiership title after a blistering first-half display saw them race into a 4-1 lead over Kilmarnock at Celtic Park. The champions-elect were ruthless from the off, with goals from Reo Hatate (2), Daizen Maeda, and a sensational strike from Cameron Carter-Vickers putting the match—and likely the league—in the bag.

It was Carter-Vickers’ goal that provided the standout moment in a dominant half. The centre-back, not known for his goalscoring exploits, picked up the ball around 35 yards from goal and unleashed an unstoppable drive that flew into the top corner. The stadium, stunned into near-silence, erupted only after a moment of disbelief. It was a goal nobody saw coming, not least his own teammates.
Adam Idah, stationed near the shot’s trajectory, could only place his hands on his head in total astonishment as the ball ripped into the net. Alistair Johnston ran over to celebrate with Carter-Vickers, caught on camera wide-eyed in sheer disbelief. It was a rare and unforgettable moment, likely to be replayed over and over in the coming days.
Hatate opened the scoring with an incredible finish of his own before adding his second with a well-placed strike. Maeda got in on the act scoring a goal from close range.
With Rangers set to face Aberdeen tomorrow, Celtic could officially secure the title should their rivals lose. Regardless, one more win will do it for Brendan Rodgers’ side, who now stand on the brink of another championship.
