Carter-Vickers reveals story behind '119' darts banner

Indeed, a photo of the latter holding a banner that read '119' went viral on social media at the time. 119 was, of course, a nod to Celtic securing 119 trophies by beating Rangers and moving one ahead of their fierce city rivals in the silverware count.
"I didn't actually write it, it was written by Stephen Welsh, I was thrown under the bus," said Carter-Vickers.
"I was the stupid one to pick it up and hold it up.
"I think this year I'd better [watch] how much I drink, make sure there's no more pictures or videos.
"To be honest, I think when you do win something, you have to enjoy it with the team and the people that you've done it with, because that's one of the reasons we do it, so you have moments like that that you can create memories that will last with you."
When Celtic won the league title last season, a video of Carter-Vickers in Glasgow's Wunderbar gained traction online. He exclaimed, 'Unlucky Rangers, three-in-a-row!', recreating Aiden McGeady's famous clip from 2008.
The American will be fully focused on trying to win a treble today as Celtic face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden.

Celtic 'eye' move for 16-goal international attacker

With Nygren's contract set to expire in six months, he could be available for as little as £2 million, according to SunSport. Read more: However, Celtic face competition from Anderlecht and Copenhagen for the versatile forward. Nygren, who can play as a number 10 or on the wings, has been in impressive form. Last season, he scored 16 goals and provided four assists in 32 appearances for Nordsjaelland. He has also earned four caps for Sweden, scoring twice for his national side. Given his decision not to renew his contract at Nordsjaelland, a move seems likely. Celtic have also been linked with Callum Osmand, Nilson Angulo, Sondre Orjasaeter, and Michel-Ange Balikwisha.
