Liam Scales received roses from James McFadden for his performances in Celtic colors this season.
Brendan Rodgers would not have given Liam Scales the opportunities and starts that he did if it hadn’t been for injuries at the start of the season.
It may be claimed that Celtic would have loaned him out again, but when opportunities present themselves, you must seize them.
And the Republic of Ireland star did it in style, with James McFadden telling BBC Radio 5 Live Sport (November 28 at 5:40 pm) that he ‘belongs in this Celtic team’.
Celtic have on-loan Liverpool player Nat Phillips sitting on the bench and not playing, which says it all.
As of this moment, the best centre-back pairing at Parkhead is Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers, although they wouldn’t want to watch back the defeat to Lazio in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Either way, James McFadden was full of praise for Liam Scales and the performances he is putting in at this level because he has been the surprise package of the team.

“I think if you aren’t able to put out your strongest team, there are always going to be concerns,” said McFadden.
