Chris Sutton has praised Celtic defender Liam Scales on Twitter for his performance today.
The BBC Sport and Sky Sports pundit has said on Twitter that Liam Scales played well for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon.
Celtic have got the better of Rangers 1-0 away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon.
Kyogo Furuhashi scored the only goal of the match in first-half injury time.
Praise for Celtic defender Liam Scales vs Rangers
Scales started in central defence for the Hoops.
And the 25-year-old played well, impressing Sutton.
Liam Scales has not always had the best of times at Celtic and is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.
Against Rangers in the Old Firm derby today, though, Scales played brilliantly and was one of the best players on the pitch at Ibrox.
There were a few occasions when the defender looked unsure early on, but he grew into the game and was a rock at the back.
It was a very good and impressive performance from Scales, who will now hope to keep his place in the starting lineup.
Against Rangers, Scales had a pass accuracy of 86.6%, won four headers, took 87 touches, and made three tackles, three interceptions and 10 interceptions.
