Part of team getting destroyed this evening,men against boys just…
Just watched all the goals at halftime, can't fault Scales for any of them!
It’s Brendan Rogers ego that’s at fault,ridiculous setup that’s been dismantled…..Quote:

He gets a mention for that goal here too.
Rough night for Celtic.Quote:
Guirassy turned Liam Scales one way and another before stabbing home the sixth in the 66th minute.
Good performance from him this evening in Bergamo,playing in a side seemingly incapable of stopping crosses coming in a clean sheet was a decent outcome,they missed plenty of chances of course but he in particular deserved a bit of luck I think….
Won MOTM. Fair play to LiamQuote:

Hardly injured if he's coming off the bench - but seems a bit harsh to go from MotM one Champions League night to the bench the next?
Would be a concern for sure,Carter Vickers seems to be the first choice anyway and it feels like they’re trying to get a partnership with Trusty started,a shame for Scales if it turns out like that…
They could have at least done the right thing and kept playing him until January before selling him to someone panicking
Came on as a sub again for the last 15 minutes - slightly unusual for a centre-back to be coming off the bench so often, so I guess Rodgers is trying to keep him still in the first-team picture.
It's enough football and recent good form that I'd definitely still have him start the two Ireland games anyway, he'd hopefully still be pretty sharp and fresh, that game time will do him a lot of good coming up to Christmas period then where Celtic will surely have to rotate some matches being involved in everything still.
Probably being rested. He's only come on as a sub in the last three games. Up to that, he'd played 90 minutes in every game this season.Quote:

Being rested for what, the behemoth that is Kilmarnock this weekend? Surely in a vital home CL clash against German opposition, Rodgers thoughts were laid bare on what he considers his best available team. Sadly - and without much ado from non-Irish bhoys - Scales and Idah aren't in it. In fact, the latter must be damn frustrated with his increasingly bit-part role.Quote:

There may be some other reason, but I don't think "Probably being rested" makes sense.
More likely to be carrying a knock and being used spareingly i would have thought.
Alternativly maybe Rodgers has made a move away from him , i dont watch enough Celtic games to know how he has been playing
He's been playing fine but Trusty was brought in to play and Scales is third pick for the two centre back positions. Obviously a team needs more than two CBs and Scales will continue to have an important role to play as a backup centre back as Celtic will play in the region of 60 games across all competitions this season. But he's certainly not being rested against Leipzig so that he can be kept fresh for Kilmarnock or whoever.
Back in the team today, though Carter-Vickers isn't in the squad (presumably injured) so that's not necessarily a sign of where he is in the order.
A flick through the Celtic forums reckoned he was unlucky to be dropped, but Trusty is just better. Make what you will of that obviously
Idah also starts but has been quiet enough it seems as Celtic lead 1-0 at halftime
He was about 6 inches away from scoring the opening goal, but it was his presence that caused the goal anyway as it meant the keeper couldn't dive for the ball in in case Idah got a touch.
