FLIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Scales trying to get over 10-hour trek but trip was eased with a bit of Russell Crowe

- BY RYAN McDONALD

LIAM SCALES spent the long haul trek to Kazakhstan catching up on classic films like LA Confidential.

But the defender is hoping for a blockbuster display from the Hoops tonight rather than being left investigating a Champions League crime scene.

Scales and the Celts squad had plenty of time to kill on the mammoth 10 hourjourney to the former Soviet outpost near the Russian border.

Rollo Tomasi sounds like one of the million names linked with Celtic over the summer rather than the mysterious murderer in the 90s Russell Crowe epic.

But it helped take the mind off the magnitude of what is at stake for the club here this evening.
