Looks like his move to Celtic is going through. Has been somewhat of a graveyard for young Irish player's ambitions in recent years. You'd be surprised if he was the manager's choice, given how recent he is in the job. Scales has been solid for us in Kenny's U-21s, initially as back up for Dara O'Shea and Conor Masterson in a successful Toulon tournament, where we ended up going out 2-0 in the semis to essentially the Brazil Olympics team, before establishing himself as first choice either at CB or LB. Now obviously established himself strongly at Shamrock Rovers. Shame that it looks like he'll miss their Euro campaign now. 22 years old and a good player. My money would say he'll get a senior cap; although we seem to have a bit of a conveyer-belt of centre-halves now. Here's Balls.ie's take on him: https://www.balls.ie/football/who-is-liam-scales-celtic-shamrock-rovers-478833 " rel="nofollow - https://www.balls.ie/football/who-is-liam-scales-celtic-shamrock-rovers-478833 ;

But I'd also assume he is gaining a massive pay-rise, so how could he refuse to test himself and try it out.

I know they've just signed McCarthy, who you'd rate, but he's so injury-prone that it's a big risk. Meanwhile they seem to be losing all their best players - Frimpong, Ajer, Ntcham, Elyounossi, etc. Christie and Edouard the next to go seemingly. That's the majority of their good outfield players. And they're left with the likes of Bitton and Barkas. Stating the obvious, but they're in for a tough season - could be a tough place for Irish players this year. |

Newspaper talk this morning is that a number of clubs are interested in Scales (Rovers quoted as saying the most clubs ever for a player of theirs). No harm to see a bidding war take place and an Irish club get a decent fee for a player for once. Hopefully Scales gets a good club too and can progress. |

Fair play to them if they are... presumably they didnt pay a fee for him when he left UCD, so this money is pure profit for them and they would be well entitled to it. If they get a decent fee and can use it to tie down other players to longer term contracts, then we finally get to a situation whereby UK clubs cant get a player from the LOI on the cheap cos he has no long term deal in place. If a UK club wants a player, they will pay a decent price. If they dont want to pay, then the player stays in Ireland and the LOI gets stronger and stronger each year. I'm not a huge follower of the league but it does seem that there are some really good players here in the league at the moment and I hope the players who leave do end up at decent clubs and the ones that stay continue to improve the league in general

Norwich and Southampton are the two reputed bidders no? Both seem quite likely they tend to sign a more under the radar type player then a Villa let’s say.

Norwich would be a disaster as we have young Omobamidele there and we are already hoping that they have faith in a 19 yr old CB. Norwich are unlikely to play 22 yr old Scales as well if they signed him. Southampton might be an option as Dutch international Vestegaard is their left sided CB and he's currently a target for Spurs, so potentially a slot opening up there.... |
Posted By: kevin100

Has Scales not proven very adept as an attacking left back? I get he’s a CB in general but that would be an option also. Will be interesting to see where he goes. Also I’d be surprised if he didn’t go for at least 600k. I suspect clubs will happily pay that for him especially if they view him as one to go into first teams. Keep in mind with Norwich they also probably want another CB to go with what they have without paying a fortune for one that will interfere with Omobamidele? That was the vibe I got from them anyways.

| If he goes to an EPL team you'd hope he goes straight out on loan because he's unlikely to play much premier league football initially and under 23 games would be useless to him at his age. |
Posted By: Banjaxed
Date Posted: 05 Aug 2021 at 2:56pm
| He's 23. Surely whoever is buying him is intending to play him or least he's in strong position to play. Bit old to be going out on loan. You either have confidence in a 23 year old or you don't. |

yeah I'd agree, cant see him being signed and sent out on loan. He's at an age now where he either plays or he doesnt, he's not a kid, he's 23 in a few days time. From what I've seen, he's a super talent, surely worth a go at a lower end Premier League club or a Championship side. Cant see why he would drop any lower. |

Teams of Norwich and Southampton's size regularly buy players from countries like Greece and Netherlands and throw them in straight away. We've just seen a team from Ireland beat a Greek team and Dundalk drew with a Dutch team a few years ago; neither looked particularly overawed. When Coleman was given a chance, he acquitted himself well pretty much straight away. I thought Stevens looked similarly able at Villa and was unfairly consigned to the scrapheap after picking up an injury at a bad time, despite being thrown into the deep end against some of the biggest teams in the league during a particularly challenging run for Villa. I would've thought Everton and Aston Villa were considerably bigger teams than Southampton and Norwich now and particularly then. Different positions but McClean, Long and Doyle adapted pretty much straight away as well. There have been the flops like Roy O'Donovan but they weren't good enough for League One let alone the PL; Scales has already proved his worth internationally and in Europe on a consistent basis.

Was Southampton not the other team. Long and Obafemi get a lot of game time there? Watching Celtic tonight, no reason Liam won't get games at Celtic. Been very disappointing for some players but Ange doesn't seem to rate O'Connor or Connell. Hope they get good loans or moves away. |

I really hope this works out for him because I rate him as a player. I just get the fear every time I see an Irish player heading for Celtic. Who was the last Irish player to nail down a first team place at Celtic and then move on to a better team - Liam Miller about 20 years ago maybe? Others like O'Dea were involved in the first team but never kicked on. Hayes was never more than a squad player. The success rate for Irish players at Celtic is terrible, especially younger players. Best of luck to him because he'll need it there.

I think he will go straight into the first team squad. Celtic left backs are not great. He wasn't far off the Irish squad this time around. He has been quality for Rovers all season. Its a step up but he is a great age for it and I think he definitely has it in him to push on and improve further. He has already improved so much in the last 2 years since when I first exposed to him. Versatile as well which makes him a good option on the bench to begin with anyway

| Our current 1st choice left back is woeful (plus got injured last night), so I'm assuming thats where he is earmarked to play rather than LCB. Whilst Sunday might be too soon Id expect him to be challenging for the LB spot very soon. |

I was thinking of him alright. Generally a new signing comes straight into the team in circumstances like that Carter Vickers today a case in point. I know it might sound reactionary but I'd call it fairly straight if he's not getting a run over Montgomery a kid I would wonder.

| people actually thought celtic were going to sign him and put him in their leinster senior league team, and he'd move to them on that basis. He has well over 100 senior appearances including european games. Afolabi and O'Connor had been released by their clubs prior to joining celtic. |
Posted By: You Tell Me
Date Posted: 23 Sep 2021 at 11:51pm
I think it has more to do with their left back struggles than anything else. Incidentally, he is a few years overage for their "Leinster Senior League team" so was never going to be playing for them. He'll be playing for their senior team or not playing at all. Hopefully he does well but the opposition tonight, Raith Rovers, would be the equivalent of a League of Ireland Premier Division team, so he has still to make the step up to SPL football. Maybe he'll get his chance this weekend.

| Maybe the other Irish lads aren't good enough, they're young so time will tell, but Okoflex is a strange one. He did get a couple of cameo appearances as a sub in the first team when half the players were out with Covid, didn't do much but then got a transfer to West Ham in the PL where he is already looking like a first team prospect. |

Date Posted: 24 Sep 2021 at 7:56am
Bolingoli who played the other day was on the bench tonight. Scales was played ahead of him, more importantly, Scales looked very composed and comfortable and I can see him playing a lot more. Afolabi and O'Connor are not good enough, you previously acknowledged this about O'Connor. Okoflex looked way off the pace when he played for Celtic so surprised to see him doing well at West Ham. Connell - 2 Celtic managers don't seem to rate him, it doesn't help that there were always a good few lads ahead of him. Hopefully his loan spell is successful and he can kick on. He's only gone 20 so is still very young. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily. I agree about O'Connor and Afolabi. I can't see Afolabi making the grade at all and if O'Connor gets there he'll have to go the long way around similar to John Egan and many others before him. I like Liam, always have, I think he's a really nice footballer and I hope he makes the grade at Celtic. It wouldn't have been my preferred destination for him being honest, given their recent record with Irish players. All I'm saying is that their struggles at left back is what's giving him a potential opportunity as much as anything. If they were as well stocked there as they are in some other positions he'd probably never get a sniff. But he has a potential window between now and the January window to make his case and hopefully he can do it.

I might get accused of having the green titled specs on but I find it baffling he's not started a game for Celtic yet. Montgomery looks totally out of his depth for now a kid. Ange has referenced a "patient" approach with him but he's 23 and he can't be any worse then Celtics other full backs. Looked okay in the cameo against Raith Rovers too. 10 men Raith Rovers context needed I know but he impressed a lot for Celtic fans going off the bird app also.

Tough one to judge as it has a bit of a friendly match feel at times and this is an entire second choice Celtic 11 other than Kyogo coming on as a sub. Having said all that he has looked good. Whether that's enough to put him into contention for league starts remains to be seen - the commentators keep mentioning that Celtic have a lot of games coming up, but they've never been ones for major rotation in the league.

| Not looking too much like a friendly to me, particularly given the overacting of the Betis players at times. In any case, they are a quality side, 3rd in La Liga and the fact that Scales looks quite comfortable and is having a decent game at this level is a real positive. McCarthy on the other hand is looking a bit off the pace unfortunately. |

| Didn't see the game but Ange made comments when Scales joined that he wasn't up to the requisite pace needed to start at that point and had some work to do. Getting a goal the weekend and doing okay against La Liga opposition, albeit in a dead rubber of sorts, is fairly indicative of progress on Scales' part since those comments from Ange. It feels like things are going in the right direction and the busy schedule has been referenced- there are 3 weeks left in December and Celtic have 5 league games and a league cup game and this all culminates in an Old Firm on 2 Jan. A couple or more starts would be a great way to round out 2021. |

If he can establish himself in the Celtic team, he will skip ahead of Stevens for us in March. Anyone who's watched him regularly for Rovers knows the potential he has ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

He's doing well, getting more involved in the game and getting forward a lot, drawing fouls and putting in some decent crosses. A solid half. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

| Agree he's doing well tonight. Composed on the ball. Lovely cross for the goal. If he can stay in the celtic team (and there's no reason why he shouldn't given his recent contributions) he would deserve a place in the Irish squad. |

Gives the ball away cheaply for no real reason, Celtic concede a corner and then Scales loses his man for the goal. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

| Did well for most of the game but 2 crucial errors for their goal. Thankfully Ralston got him out of jail with the last minute winner. He's still a work in progress. Hopefully he gets more chances inspite his contribution for their goal. Looked better going forward than defending on tonight's performance |

Liam Scales - Continues to grow in stature in a green and white jersey and was Celtic's best performer on the night. 7 Liam Scales: The Irishman’s calm on-ball demeanour and a willingness to continue his runs into the penalty area ensured he was regularly involved in play – although admittedly it would’ve been hard not to be on such a ball-dominant evening. Unlike his last starter’s outing against Ross County, Scales was rarely tested on the defensive end while his link-up attempts with winger Mikey Johnston did not quite click to any great degree. 6

| I thought he did OK. Nothing really to do defensively. Celtic had over 80% possession. He was tidy on the ball and retained it well. Although not too much in the way if incision in his passing, against St Mirrens parked bus defence. |

Is that 7 from 20 as don't see how anyone in a Celtic shirt could get more than a 6/10 last night. Although he didn't do anything wrong there were periods of the game where he didn't get a touch. If he wants to the 1st choice left back last night was an opportunity to demonstrate the desire and responsibility required. He was a bit disappointing in that regard.

Should have scored in the first half....not a game to assess him. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Some additional competition for Scales now with Celtic bringing in a new left back from the J League. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/reo-hatate/profil/spieler/496656" rel="nofollow - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/reo-hatate/profil/spieler/496656 Although he does apparently play a few positions, can play in midfield also.
