He was certainly quick off the mark to make his intentions known wasn’t he?
Jim Goodwin has taken Celtic forgotten man Liam Scales on at Aberdeen for the season and without seeing the player in action, has said that he is targeting a longer term, more permanent, deal for the Irishman.
Speaking in The Sun, Goodwin said, “I’m a big fan of the loan market as it gives you the opportunity to sign players that you would maybe not normally be able to afford.
“The size of club we are we want to be signing players on permanent contracts. That conversation was had with Celtic initially.
“We wanted to know what the number was and could we make it happen. Celtic are not willing to sell Liam at this moment.
“That’s fair enough because he is their player, and he is on a long-term contract until 2025.
“Certainly we will enter into those discussions in January if Liam has the kind of success we expect him to have here.
“Hopefully he is enjoying his time at Aberdeen and will want to sign on with us. That is by the by just now.
I’ve always liked Scales. He showed good potential whenever given the opportunity in a Celtic jersey but it has been a year now at Celtic under Ange and has still made no significant impact at the club.
Maybe January is the right time to allow him to flourish elsewhere.
