Reaction from Carrick
Carrick welcomed the decision and framed it as beneficial for his side. He said the team wants to finish as high in the table as possible.
He added that while competition from other clubs matters, the priority remains securing qualification. Carrick admitted teams can become “selfish” about European places.
