The debate surrounding Liam Scales’ role at Celtic has been a hot topic among fans throughout the season.
While opinions vary widely, our man Quinny firmly believes that Scales is demonstrating he has what it takes to be a long-term solution for Celtic at the left centre-back position in the latest video on the CeltsAreHere YouTube channel.
Despite the division among the fanbase, it’s clear that Scales has played a significant role in Celtic’s campaign, featuring in crucial matches and reportedly catching the eye of Belgian giants Anderlecht.
Scales’ consistency is evident in his appearances, having only missed two games for the Hoops this season. This level of involvement underscores his importance to the team and the trust placed in him by the management. While some supporters see him as a stop-gap solution, advocating for the inclusion of summer signings Gustaf Lagerbielke and Maik Nawrocki, Scales has managed to maintain his position in the starting lineup, suggesting that he offers something unique to Brendan Rodgers’ setup.
The discussion about Scales’ future is further intensified by rumours of a potential new contract, which would solidify his place at Celtic Park. This development, if true, could signal the club’s intention to build around Scales as a key defensive pillar in the years to come.
Critics point to moments of vulnerability and call for reinforcements in the summer transfer window, yet it’s important to recognise the growth and potential Scales has shown. His journey from being a potential temporary fix to a mainstay in the Celtic defence is a testament to his hard work, adaptability, and the qualities he brings to the team.
