LIAM SCALES has been linked with a move to Aberdeen over the past few days. However, Celtic are taking their time and stalling the transfer as they wait to discover the extent of Carl Starfelt’s injury.
The Swedish defender was injured while representing his country in the Nations League and was stretchered off the pitch. The player admitted feeling sharp pains in his hamstring, an injury that could potentially keep him out for months.
Carl has left the national team’s camp and has returned to Celtic to go under further examination.
The Daily Record report that Celtic are holding off on selling or loaning Liam Scales until backup or positive injury news arrives.
Of course, Liam Scales is predominantly a left-back, playing this position when he’s featured for Celtic, but he can play on the left side of a defensive partnership – the role the injured Starfelt occupies.
The Irishman has been an outcast for Celtic, with the player clearly isolated from Ange’s plan. Celtic has been linked to many left-backs and centre backs before the transfer window has opened, hinting that the manager is keen to improve this area of the team and move on the players who lack the quality required.
