The talk of the town is Celtic defender Liam Scales’ red card during the Republic of Ireland’s match against England last night.
Roy Keane criticized Scales’ actions, claiming it cost Ireland the game, while Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson expressed his disappointment in the defender’s need to be sent off.
Even Gary Lineker got in on the action, joking about the scales being tipped in England’s favor after the red card.
Scales, who has been in stellar form for both club and country, rarely has disciplinary issues. So, when he was shown the red card, it was surprising for Celtic fans.
His tackle on Harry Kane that led to the red card left a lasting impression, with the Irish media highlighting his impressive first-half performance before the incident.
Despite the red card, Scales has an otherwise clean disciplinary record during his time at Celtic, with just eight bookings in over 6000 minutes of play. He has consistently proven that discipline is not a concern for him.
