Johnston tasted his first defeat from the start and he jokingly blamed it on the funky kit his side wore in Rotterdam.
Alistair Johnston's perfect starting record went in the bin in Rotterdam – along with Celtic’s funky third kit they wore on the night.
Scales looked set for the exit on the back of his loan spell at Aberdeen last season but the crock woe for Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh has catapulted him into the first team. While £3m Lagerbielke has looked shaky and loan signing Nat Phillips is struggling for fitness, Scales has emerged as an unlikely hero.
“I wouldn’t have seen him. But I knew what he’d done at Aberdeen the previous year. I’ve been really impressed with his composure on the ball. He’s been better than I could’ve imagined. Again, one of those guys who hasn’t shied away from the moment. The bigger picture is why he had to rely on inexperienced youngsters like Lagerbielke and Holm when the Parkhead side had all summer to tool up and more than £70m in the bank. Only two of the 10 window signings started on Tuesday, including £3m winger Luis Palma finding it tough on his debut.
