THE CELTIC DEFENDER WAS TAKING IN PRESS CONFERENCE DUTIES AHEAD OF TONIGHT’S EUROPA LEAGUE TIE AGAINST STURM GRAZ WHEN SCALES WAS ASKED HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT MCGREGOR SAID POST-MATCH AT DENS PARK. THE CELTIC CAPTAIN WAS ANGRY AT THE PERFORMANCE AND RESULT AS HE VOLLEYED A ‘TOO EASY TO PLAY AGAINST’ CHARGE TO HIMSELF AND HIS TEAMMATES.
REACTING TO THAT, SCALES SAYS HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE HOOPS LEGEND MADE THOSE REMARKS AS THE IRISHMAN AGREED WITH THE CELTIC CAPTAIN’S SCATHING ASSESSMENT. SCALES BACKS CALLUM MCGREGOR’S CRITICISM OF CELTIC TEAM VS DUNDEE.
CELTIC PUT IN ANOTHER ABJECT PERFORMANCE AGAINST ONE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE ON SUNDAY. DUNDEE MADE LIFE DIFFICULT AND IT SEEMS THAT THE BHOYS HAD RUN OUT OF IDEAS TO BREAK THEM DOWN. AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT MCGREGOR’S CRITIQUE OF THE PERFORMANCE, SCALES AGREES WITH THE CELTIC SKIPPER.
SCALES TOLD THE CELTIC PRESS CONFERENCE, “I THINK BASED ON THE GAME ON SUNDAY, WE PROBABLY MADE IT TOO EASY FOR DUNDEE.
“I THINK WE PLAYED INTO THEIR HANDS. YOU KNOW, THEY SET UP TO BE DEFENSIVE, TO BE SOLID AND THEY WON THE GAME BASICALLY FROM COUNTERATTACKS AND A SET PIECE AND THAT’S HOW THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED THE GAME TO PLAY OUT.”
