IT took an unusual set of circumstances for Liam Scales to get the extended run in the Celtic first team which he had longed for since signing for the Glasgow club.
“I’m probably proving a few people wrong who maybe thought I couldn’t play here,”he said.“The background I’ve come from, my career has taken a different path to a lot of other players that Celtic might sign. That’s fine, fans are entitled to their own“I was at UCD in the League of Ireland Premier Division. I did three years there. The study coincided with my football. After that, I went to Shamrock Rovers.
Scales added: “I always had belief. Even if it wasn’t going to happen, you still have to get yourself up for training every day. You need to keep it in the back of your mind that football’s a mad game and you can never plan too far in advance. He is optimistic that featuring for the Glasgow giants in Europe’s premier club competition will count in his favour when Stephen Kenny names his Ireland squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Greece and Gibraltar next month.
“I’ve been in five camps so far and have been involved in a good few match day squads. The Gibraltar game is a possibility but I’m not the manager. They’re all big games because we need to win every one of them to have a chance of qualifying in third spot.
