Celtic ‘positive’ but must learn lessons – Scales

Centre-half Liam Scales believes Celtic’s late run to a league and cup double means they can go into the next season “on a positive note” while also realising they cannot rest on their laurels.

Celtic improved in Martin O’Neill’s two spells as interim manager and ended the season beating second-tier Dunfermline Athletic 3-1 in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final – a week after retaining the Premiership title by beating long-time leaders Hearts by the same scoreline.

“It gives us that chance to go into next season on a positive note,” 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international Scales said.

“The last couple of months has all gone in one direction.

“It’s been great for us, it gives us a chance to go into next season on a positive note.

“But it also gives us that realisation that we need to continue to improve and continue to be at the top of our game, to win things, because we weren’t for stages of the season and that kind of put us in a difficult situation. So it’s a bit of both.

“You have that positivity in the group, and everyone’s buzzing, but then there’s also the sense that we need to push on again.

“We definitely made it more difficult for ourselves at times. So I think everyone can learn from mistakes and everyone’s included in that, players, coaches, board, it goes all the way up.”
