Cameron Carter-Vickers insists he's happy at Celtic amid suggestions he could head back to the Premier League.

The American international has been a crucial figure at the back for the Hoops since he signed under Ange Postecoglou two years ago.

His initial loan from Tottenham was made a permanent deal last summer.

The 25-year-old has been a rock at the heart of the champions' defence and aside from injury issues encountered at different points this year, he's been a mainstay in the team.

Despite only just recently returning from injury prior to the international break, Carter-Vickers was called up to the latest USA squad for their double-header against Germany and Ghana.

Speaking to The Sporting News, he was asked about the prospect of returning to play in England one day.

Stating he was happy at Celtic, responding to the suggestions of a second chance he said: "If it comes, it comes, great, but if it doesn't I'm happy where I'm at now."

He added: "It's a club where there's always pressure on you which I think someone like me almost needs that to keep me focused and keep me playing at my highest level week-in and week out.

"As a player sometimes, when you're playing week-in and week out, you kinda get into a rhythm of turning up. I don't think the fans at Celtic allow that, a draw in the league is a disaster for the fans. Once you realise that, you know every game you have to be going 100 percent to win the game, and if you don't....be ready."

Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has emerged as the favourite to replace Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny.

The current national team boss has acknowledged that matches against the Netherlands and New Zealand in November could be his last in the role.

Ireland have just six points from seven matches in Euro 2024 qualifying with France already through and the Netherlands and Greece competing for second spot.

And under-pressure Kenny admitted he's unsure of his future as Ireland boss as he responded to a poser on whether next month could spell the end of his tenure.
