This season, Celtic’s defense has undergone far too many changes for Brendan Rodgers to feel secure in such an important area of the field.

due to the injuries suffered by Cameron Carter-Vickers, the recent criticism of Greg Taylor, and the seeming inadequacy of players like Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke.

Liam Scales has been the sole consistent and trustworthy performer, and not many Celtic supporters would have predicted that in the summer.

The Irishman has been a key member of Celtic’s defense in recent games, starting alongside Stephen Welsh during the victory over Rangers. He has also played alongside Maik Nawrocki.

Then there is left-back Alexandro Bernabei, who has had few starts due to Greg Taylor’s injury; Liam Scales mentioned that the backline has to be so dynamic and cutting.

In his pre-game press conference, the 25-year-old did refer to his teammates above him as “top players” and said that it’s “not difficult to play alongside them.”

There’s a good chance Liam Scales starts alongside Maik Nawrocki in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night against Hibernian, with Alexandro Bernabei lining up at left back. The game is at Easter Road.

Scales stated, “It’s been chopping and changing a bit in the last few games.” “However, I believe every player you listed is a top player.

Playing with any of them is not tough. on terms of personnel, consistency hasn’t really been present on the backline.

“However, they have all performed admirably and played well, so I haven’t really found it to be a problem. Finding out how to play with other people and their preferred style of play has been a positive experience.

Mr Reliable is Liam Scales.

Despite Celtic’s heavy summertime spending on center backs, a man who was previously loaned out is outperforming them all.

Had Carter-Vickers not sustained another injury, Lagerbielke most likely would have been fired in January, with Michael Stewart responding to the absurdity of his circumstances.

In any case, all of this has pushed Scales into the spotlight even more, and he has seized it.

His performances demonstrate that the team should exercise caution the next time it spends large sums of money because, in terms of Celtic’s center-back alternatives following Carter-Vickers, the solution was there in front of them.
