Liam Scales has signed a new contract at Celtic.
The defender has agreed a new four-year deal which will see him remain at the champions until the summer of 2028.
The Republic of Ireland international joined the club in August 2021 under Ange Postecoglou, and he had to bide his time for a sustained run in the first team.
A season-long loan at Aberdeen proved to work wonders for the 25-year-old, as this season he's established himself in the starting XI alongside a variety of defensive partners such as Cameron Carter-Vickers, Stephen Welsh and Maik Nawrocki.

We are delighted to confirm that Liam Scales has signed a new four-year deal with the Club! ✍#CelticFC🍀
He's made 40 appearances in all competitions this term, with one goal to his name.
The three-times capped Ireland centre-back is determined to help the team get over the line in their bid for a league and cup double to finish the campaign.
Scales said: “I am delighted to agree this new contract and commit my future to Celtic.Â
“I have really enjoyed working under the gaffer, and with such a great group of players this year and I look forward to doing so again in the coming seasons.
“I love being part of this great club and I want to do all I can to contribute to Celtic and bring our fans as much success as we can.”

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
