Celtic defender Liam Scales sent off at Wembley as Ireland defeated | OneFootball

Celtic defender Liam Scales was sent off in Ireland’s UEFA Nations League defeat at Wembley. The central defender was shown a second yellow after 51 minutes as Jude Bellingham went down in the box. Scales was sent off as Harry Kane stepped up and converted from the spot.

The ten men of Ireland were then up against it as Ireland scored four without reply. It is a disappointment for Scales, who was performing well as the left sided centre half for Ireland’s back five.

Once the International Break ends – the last one until March – focus will return to Celtic’s efforts to complete on all fronts and to collect the first trophy of the season.

Celtic return to domestic action on Saturday night against Hearts at Tynecastle. Scales will be looking to continue working hard and putting pressure on Trusty and Carter-Vickers, who appear to be the manager preferred partnership.
