The USA star is in top form but faces a fight for a starting spot in the League Cup with Cameron Carter-Vickers back from injury
Auston Trusty got a kick out of being part of Team America at the heart of Celtic’s defence against Dundee the other night.
It looked a solid partnership but Trusty and Scales was also sensational in the Champions League draw with Atalanta in Italy last week. In fact, take away the Borussia Dortmund game in Europe, and Celtic’s defence has been rock solid no matter who has played. Trusty reckons the more the merrier – as the intense fight for the starting line-up is a show of strength. As for who gets the nod at the National Stadium, the £6m arrival from Sheffield United said: “I don’t know, I’m not the gaffer. I just show up and do my job. I think everyone here just shows up and does the job if they are asked to play.
Trusty has shown he’s willing to adapt too. The big defender has tended to play on the left side of the backline partnership and has been deployed at left back at various times in his career. But Carter-Vickers stepping out of the side to nurse a troublesome metatarsal problem meant a stand-in role on the right alongside Scales.
The sane goes for the rest of the Celtic squad. The raft of changes the other night diminished some of the usual fluency from their play against Dundee. But it was the kind of routine no fuss win that gets the job done during these hectic spells.
