Celtic player produces masterclass display on international duty, Rodgers will be thrilled

Several Celtic players were in action for their respective countries on Thursday. 

Liam Scales was one of the 13 Celtic players on international duty, and manager Brendan Rodgers will be absolutely thrilled by his efforts.

The defender started for the Republic of Ireland and played the entire game in the 1-0 win against Finland.

Scales has made ten starts in the Scottish Premiership this season and has one goal to his name.

Celtic have been flying high in the league this season, and Scales has helped them keep eight clean sheets

The 26-year-old continued his impressive form for his country, delivering a masterclass performance.

The Celtic boss will be very pleased to find that both Scales and Auston Trusty are playing exceptionally well.

Cameron Carter-Vickers has become almost undroppable, but the other two defenders are forcing Rodgers to pick them in the starting eleven.

Scales and Trusty started at the back in the last game against Motherwell and did really well, although Kasper Schmeichel grabbed all the headlines for his outstanding performance.

Rodgers will definitely welcome this selection headache. It also reflects how strong Celtic are at the moment and that all players are fighting for their places in the side.

Celtic will play Hearts away from home after the international break, followed by an important Champions League game against Club Brugge.

Rodgers will hope that Scales will continue his impressive form.
