Celtic won the opening Glasgow Derby of the season after a Kyogo goal settled the affair at Ibrox. Michael Beale’s side were booed off the park as the Celtic players and management celebrated on the pitch with no fans to enjoy the victory.
The Irishman spoke to Sky Sports after the game and said that there is more to come from this group as he looks to put his stamp on the team. The manager praised the attitude of the squad and their ability to stand up to the atmosphere in Govan to deliver the victory.
🗣️ “He [Scales] is a warrior… I’m so happy for the players. We’re a long way off where we want to be”

Rodgers was forced to make a number of changes throughout the game, leaving him with a backline of Bernabei, Scales, Lagerbielke and Ralston. The manager will hope that the returning stars, such as Cameron Carter-Vickers and Reo Hatate, will only serve to bolster the squad. The manager has a reputation for working with and improving young players and he will hope that with time, the team improves.
Coming away from the opening fixtures, Celtic have been to Pittodrie and Ibrox and recorded two victories. The call of more to come will be ominous for teams around the league as Celtic will look to move through the gears.
