The duo have formed a formidable partnership this season, conceding just three league goals.

Irishman Scales was once the whipping Bhoy for fans who felt Celts should have upgraded at the back.

But the stopper is silencing his critics weekby-week by emerging as one of Brendan Rodgers’ top performers.

And CCV said: “Yeah, I think Scalesy has done great. Carl [Starfelt] left what three years ago now? Scalesy has kind of been playing since then.

“Especially a club of this size and with these demands, if you're in the team consistently, you're doing a lot of things right.

“He has been and he's continuing to improve. He reads the game well.

“Having played so much together, we now understand each other's games and can almost play without having to really communicate too much.
