The Irishman was part of the Aberdeen side on the end of the biggest ever Scottish Cup shock but he's now targeting a double.
Liam Scales can help Celtic sink Rangers to win a Scottish Cup – just 16 months after being devastatingly dumped out by Darvel .
Now he’s going to Hampden to try to win an Old Firm showpiece and he said: “That would be as far away from that night in Darvel as you can get! That’s the plan. We’re fully focused on that now. Our celebrations at the weekend weren’t as big as they were the other night. We’re totally focused, as everyone here wants the Double and we’re striving to achieve that.”
“So it was just a low point and you have to bounce back and I have used that to get through tough times this season as well. We got knocked out of the Cup by Darvel and had back-to-back heavy league defeats in the space of a week. So to go from being that low to this high is massive. I suppose that experience up there has also helped me get to where I am now.”
Scales had family and friends there, although his parents missed out on the celebration. He explained: “I had my girlfriend here, my brother was over and a few friends. They all enjoyed it and had a great day, as I have. It’s nice to share this moment with them. “I have to also give a shout out to Pat Devlin. He’s been my advisor since I was about 17 or 18. He got me here and helped me through so many times so I have to also give him a big thank you.”
