    Given our game load we need players who can in and make good contributions to the team and I thought that Scales had a good night last night and showed that he is at least capable of being a solid back up option at left back going forward for this season. No reason not to sell Boli this January if we can find a buyer now.

    Faster than Taylor, slower than Tierney.

    Couple of people on here used to say Samaras was slow. Tall * don’t move their legs quick and it makes people think they’re slow for some reason. Scales isn’t slow from what I’ve seen but I’m not sure if he’s quick.

    Disappointed he isn’t starting or even in the squad today.

    Injured, surely?

    He showed more on Thursday than Taylor ever has for us.

    As a Celtic fan from Ireland I’m over the moon he starts tonight. Impressed anytime I’ve saw him so far. Hopefully another good game tonight. Big opportunity,

    Looking solid again and quite tidy on the ball too.

    Really like him.

    Also adds height at full back which I'm always a fan of, balance wise.

    Becoming a fan of him in that inverted fullback role. Think he gives us a goal threat that the likes of Taylor and Boli don't.

    Was at fault for their goal but good game besides. Hopefully he learns and moves on.

    He's pretty good on the ball but very suspect defensively.

    Suspect defensively, but he adds a lot to the attack.

    Think once he's settled he'll be more solid at the back.
