ABSOLUTE MELTDOWN! Liam Scales Unleashes SAVAGE Slap in the Face to Stunned Celtic Fans After Dundee United

If Celtic fans felt stung after Dundee United visited Parkhead, the blow came from the scoreboard, not from Liam Scales. The defender spent the afternoon trying to fix the damage.

Celtic ended up with a 2-2 draw against a determined Dundee United side, and for a while it looked worse than that. Two United goals in four minutes stunned Celtic Park, the kind of spell that sends a home crowd from buzzing to bewildered in the time it takes to say “wake up, lads.” (irishexaminer) (irishexaminer)

That’s where Scales came in. He equalised in the 64th minute with a header, but despite almost constant pressure the league leaders had to settle for a point. So the only thing Scales hit that day was the back of the net, and he did it with his head, which is about as far from a slap as you can get. (irishexaminer)

The frustration was real, though. United hadn’t won at Celtic Park since Boxing Day 1992, and when a record like that nearly falls, supporters feel it. Celtic threw everything at the visitors, but the winner never came. That is the true “slap in the face”: a league leader dropping points it was expected to take. (irishexaminer)

Scales has a long history with this fixture. His first Celtic goal came against the same opponents, just six minutes into his league debut at Tannadice. Few players can say they’ve scored against United at both ends of their Celtic story. (irishtimes)

So put the pitchforks down. Scales didn’t turn on the fans. He rescued a point on a day when Celtic needed one, and the real question for Brendan’s successors is why the Hoops keep conceding so cheaply.
