The Celts suffered a 7-1 defeat at Dortmund on Tuesday, a night that captain Callum McGregor characterized as’sobering’.
That result, Brendan Rodgers’ side’s first defeat of the season, was in stark contrast to the Hoops’ start to the campaign, which has seen the champions of Scotland, defender Liam Scales said that despite a bruising night in the Champions League, the Celts have recovered and are ready to bounce back when they kick off in Dingwall at lunchtime on Sunday. “We’ve started the season so well in the league,” stated the captain. “We’re unbeaten domestically and doing everything right.”That makes it easy to put the previous night’s game behind you and focus on the next one.
‘We’re confident in our abilities, regardless of what the previous result is.’
“We’ve played together enough, we train together every day, we know what our ability is and how high it can be when we’re on it.”Confidence isn’t involved; it’s more about reaching the levels that we want to be at.” The Hoops, who have started their title defence and pursuit of a fourth consecutive league title in scorching style, have yet to surrender a league goal since the season began.
This streak of six straight league clean sheets has already tied a club record set 118 years ago, with Sunday’s game affording an opportunity to write another piece of Celtic history. On the subject of shutouts, Liam Scales stated, “I want to be a part of a defence that keeps clean sheets and wins games.”We know that if we can build a strong foundation and keep a clean sheet, we’ll be able to score goals with our attacking talent, which will win us games. “It gives us something else to aim for, to keep going on this run and go as long as we can.”
