Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has been called up to the USA's World Cup squad.

It is the first time the 24-year-old will represent his country at a major tournament.

Strong performances for the Hoops last season earned him his first international cap for almost three years during the summer, and he has continued this good form during the current campaign in Scotland.

American head coach Gregg Berhalter has selected the centre-back as part of a group of 26 players who will compete in Qatar later this month.

The US are in a group with Wales, England and Iran as they look to reach the knockout stages of the competition for the first time since 2002.
