Liam Scales explains how Celtic defeated Rangers

The dust has settled after the Old Firm derby on Saturday afternoon as the Bhoys swept aside their bitter rivals to boost their tile hopes. In a recent interview, Celts defender Liam Scales has explained how they were able to defeat their adversaries.

Speaking after the game, Scales said: "When teams come and press us and try to get tight to us I feel as if it suits us. We can play through them and it suits the sort of players we have. It’s a nice difference from playing against a low block, which we do a lot in the league. The big occasions come against teams who come out and play and we feel as if we can come out and play against most teams.”
