CAMERON CARTER- VICKERS has urged raging Celtic supporters to keep cool after tempers flared at Parkhead.
Fans turned on Hoops chairman Peter Lawwell and his board during Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Hearts, chanting ‘Sack the board’ and ‘Lawwell, Lawwell get to f***’.

But defender Carter-Vickers said: “You’ve got to try and take the emotion out of it as much as you can.
“Look at the football, analyse the game and try to improve, that’s all you can really do.
“The emotion is understandable. When you lose a game that’s how we feel as players and that’s how the fans feel as well.
“But there is no point looking at a game in an emotional state.
“You’ve got to look at it clear-headed, stay as calm as you can and try to improve.”
The faltering champions have now suffered back-to-back domestic defeats for the first time since March 2013.
That has opened the door for Rangers to take over top spot.
CCV added: “We just have to analyse what went wrong, see where we can improve as a team and as individuals. If we do that, performances will get better.
“Emotions are obviously high when you lose a game.
“But as a group, we’ve got to get our heads down, work hard on the training pitch and try to turn out better performances. With better performances come wins.
“We weren’t good enough. We conceded two sloppy goals, which is something we need to look at in training and try to improve on.
“We probably should have created more and also finished the chances we did have to try to get ourselves back in the game.
“For large parts of the second half, we did have Hearts in their half and around their box, but when we did get in, we weren’t good enough in the final third to create clear openings to score.
“There are a few boys in there who feel the way I do. It’s no use having just CalMac. He’s our captain and shows responsibility, but he needs help.
“A few of us are willing to take that responsibility, try to lead the team, and that’s something we need to do in the coming weeks.”
