    Forgot about him. He looked pretty wobbly for pretty much the entire game. Think he even got away with being robbed of the ball at one point...

    Im Irish so love an aul Irish lad playing for Celtic, but him and Johnny aren’t good enough along with a few others.

    He has the art of causing chaos in the defence. PUNT.

    Whilst Trusty isn't the answer, he's far better than Scales.

    I think Nawrocki is comfortably better too.

    He is so far off it.

    I probably hate Scales more than @Callum McGregor hates Yang :56:

    even through his purple patch when he was seemingly ‘holding the defence together’ I just couldn’t take to him. It’s painful watching him pass the ball from side to side all the time. He wins a lot of headers but he should do, that’s his job (sorry to go all Roy Keane) he shouldn’t be starting cup finals he should be a squad player and that’s it

    So weird how people see him. He was the only one driving us forward and showing intent at one point.

    He won near every corner, and we barely conceded any chances at all.

    * no chances. Kaspar threw it in the net, wasn’t even a chance they had.

    While i think some people make him out to be worse defensively than he actually is, he was absolutely woeful in build up IMO. Both him and CCV were a big issue in causing the slow and predictable possession. Too many touches, too many safe passes, too scared to make a mistake.

    at what point was this? I respect your biased towards him I really do but he was woeful in the buildup yesterday. Not just him CCV as well. No urgency for most of the game. If them two are going to have the ball the most it needs to be quicker than what it was yesterday. Too many times we’ve seen it this season

    How anyone can defend him is beyond me. He was woeful.

    The first 25 minutes…I’m not exaggerating when I say nearly every time he was on the ball it was either a terrible first touch, or a dodgy pass. He’s absolutely hopeless with the ball at his feet and turns like an oil tanker.

    Even defensively. Aye he usually gets his head on it, or a block…but even then he quite regularly mistimes his jump and heads it back into danger, or sclaffs the clearance.

    Has he got something over Rodgers cause * knows why he keeps getting the nod.

    Don’t want him anywhere near the side cause he’s not good enough
