Let this sink in, on current form Liam Scales is our best player.
{Ed007's Note - He's been our best CB for a good while now.}

Scales was our best player 2 seasons ago up until the last few weeks of the season when his form dipped.
That was expected considering Liam played practically every minute that season and he was running on empty.
Scales has never looked back since.

Why r u having a go at scales Weejoe? Don't see you saying anything about hatate and mcgregor our captain. Both have been shocking all season so far. A decent second 45 mins is all they have done. Scales has been the best by some distance. He is like grey taylor in that he is always the whipping boy. Stupid comment!

He was superb last night and must be the most improved player at the club.
24 Oct 2025 16:35:41
Not just CB ed, he has been our best player this season, which shows how badly we have performed and how bad our transfer dealings were.
{Ed007's Note - Or people can just admit that he's not as bad a player as he constantly gets made out to be by some. I've said for about 18 months it's CCV that needs moved on and better brought in.}

He's the best of a bad bunch. We have blew millions trying to get decent centre halfs. We badly need a physical spine to the team.
{Ed007's Note - ??

He is an ok player but he certainly has limitations.
24 Oct 2025 17:31:29
CCV could be out till March BR has said. It will be Scales and Trusty till then, unless we get someone in January.
We are running out of players.

100% lads it’s time to re-write the narrative - Scales is a more than decent centre half - like Greg Taylor - he’s seen off a good number of pretenders to his throne.

I'm not going to have a pop at Liam Scales, as I've said all along, he was originally presented with a chance to play in the starting 11 when other CB's in the squad (Lagerbielke, Nawrocki) despite being new signings, were either injured or deemed not good enough.
Scales took his chance and always puts in a shift.
However, for me, he would be ideal as our 3rd CB, coming off the bench. He finds himself in the first team more due to poor scouting/ signing policy than being a first choice CB.
We've regressed in so many areas of the pitch, none more than at the CB position - IMO.
That's my tuppence worth.

That is how I see it as well Pedro.

Wee Joe - Pedro
Great to hear your thoughts - great people on here - great forum - great Ed - we agree and we disagree at times - but we know we’re among friends - the one thing that unites us - is our love of Celtic FC.

He showed the forwards his to finish , he's been outstanding long may it continue.
24 Oct 2025 20:48:33
I was a scales nae sayer, but fact is if we could find a 6ft baller to stick next to him they’d be decent,
24 Oct 2025 21:14:53
Naw he's decent without that what you watching ?.
24 Oct 2025 23:07:52
Good post JFP.
Rational and very well put.
24 Oct 2025 23:18:50
He's been bailing out CCV's lapses for ages now. Him and Trusty we're an absolute rock away to Atalanta last season. Trusty's best game in a Celtic jersey so wouldn't be surprised if that's who we go with on Sunday.
