The Hoops equalled a 118-year record with their clean sheet against Hearts and they are out to push the number even higher
And the Irishman believes added experience can help transfer domestic solidity on to the biggest stage of the Champions League . Brendan Rodgers ’ in-form team are scoring goals, but also equalled a 118-year record with their weekend clean sheet against Hearts.
“It’s just been a really good start to the season. We’re really looking forward to Wednesday night and we just want to bring our form into that game. We really haven’t put a foot wrong, I don’t think. It’s just been fluid and it’s good to get back after the international break, get back together and get a result like that leading into a big game on Wednesday.”
Now the Champions League provides the acid test and Scales reckons he is better equipped to handle it after his first experience of the competition last term as he played all six games of the group stages. It was a steep learning curve as Celtic conceded 15 goals in six outings as they were exposed to the cut-throat and relentless nature of the elite-level examinations.
“But in Europe they come out and come at you a bit more. But two weeks ago against Rangers, we showed that when we’re being pressed we can stay calm and cut teams open, and over the last few weeks we’ve shown that we can find ways to break the low block down. We just need to see what comes our way and I’m sure we’ll do a lot of analysis to see what way they’re going to come at us.”
