Liam Scales received a well-deserved call-up to the Ireland national team on Thursday.
His rise to prominence has been facilitated by injuries to Nawrocki, Carter-Vickers, and Welsh, but Scales has more than just filled a gap at the back; he’s excelled.

The defender’s recent form for Celtic has been nothing short of exceptional, making his Ireland selection thoroughly merited. His performances have not only solidified his place in the Celtic starting eleven but have also caught the attention of the national team selectors.
Despite Celtic’s defeat to Lazio on Wednesday, Scales was one of the standouts.
The player, who was acquired from Shamrock Rovers for a fee of £500k, showcased his talent and composure on the grandest stages of club football.
His journey from Shamrock Rovers to Celtic and now to the international stage with Ireland is a testament to his hard work and dedication. As the season progresses, both Celtic and Ireland fans will be keen to see more of what Scales has to offer moving forward.
