Celtic’s recent clash with St Mirren revealed a moment of defensive discord, according to Michael Stewart, who pointed out an on-pitch disagreement between Greg Taylor and Liam Scales.

Despite securing three points, the match exposed potential vulnerabilities within Celtic’s back line.

During the encounter, which saw St Mirren seize an early lead, a miscommunication between the Celtic defenders allowed Conor McMenamin to score.

Replays and post-match analysis indicate that Taylor was visibly frustrated with Scales for not intercepting the cross that led to St Mirren’s goal.

Watching back, you can watch Nat Philips get dragged out wide, leaving Liam Scales caught between two men.

Stewart, offering his insights on Sportscene, suggested that the fault actually lay with Taylor, who had initially marked McMenamin but then shifted his attention, leaving the St Mirren forward unchallenged to nod home the opening goal.

Speaking on Sportscene, the former player pointed out Taylor had no reason to have a go at Scales, saying:

“You see Nat Phillips get dragged right out from the centre of defence. It’s a great ball in by Kiltie and it causes real problems. McMenamin is all on his own.

“You see Greg Taylor. He isn’t happy. But it’s actually his fault. You see Scales looking over his shoulders. He sees that Taylor has McMenamin.

“But, as soon as Scales turns and faces Olusanya. Taylor drifts away to the back post. The player at the back post is the least dangerous, at that point. And McMenamin is free to get the header in. Taylor has to stick with McMenamin.”
