Republic of Ireland defender Liam Scales commits to a new four-year contract at Celtic.
The 25-year-old moved to the Scottish champions from Shamrock Rovers in August 2021, but has only become a regular this season, playing 40 games.
Capped three times for the Republic of Ireland, he spent last term on loan at Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen. With Carl Starfelt sold to Celta Vigo in the summer, Celtic signed Naik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke."He's been a real stalwart for us this season, played a lot of games and minutes," manager Brendan Rodgers said.
"When lots of the players were breaking down earlier in the season, he was the one guy that was there for us the whole time."Meanwhile Japan forward Daizen Maeda will return to the Celtic squad for their match against Hearts on Saturday, after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered last month."He has recovered remarkably well and I think we all see he is a specimen physically. He has got back and it’s brilliant news for us.
