Rodgers hails Irish star: 'He's probably one of the biggest surprises in my career'

CELTIC BOSS Brendan Rodgers hailed Irish defender Liam Scales after the reigning Scottish champions’ 3-1 Scottish Premiership win over Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Asked whether the former UCD man was now his first-choice centre-back, Rodgers told BBC Scotland: “He’s outstanding. I’m so happy for him. “But he’s been outstanding. And I’m obviously delighted for him, he’s now into the Republic of Ireland squad.” Rodgers felt it was unrealistic to expect new signings to be “perfect right away” and revealed he was looking only for incremental improvement.

“I don’t like talking about referees, but we’ve now got a whole team of people looking at it. The ref doesn’t see it, he had his back to the play. By the time he turned around, the foul was committed.
