Since returning from a loan stint with Aberdeen at the beginning of last season, Liam Scales has been a different defender for Celtic.

From squad player to superb starter last term, the Republic of Ireland international is grateful for his spell in the Granite City.

A place where he made plenty of pals, he will come up against those familiar faces in the Scottish Cup final.

However, those relationships will be put to one side at Hampden next month.

"I still chat to a few of them, and whenever we play against them I'll catch up with them," the centre-back said. "But they won't be pals on the day."

On the subject of friendships, Scales, who started at Hampden, said he and fellow defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty and Maik Nawrocki are all tight but ultimately in healthy competition with each other.

"We're all in competition with each other for the two [centre-back] places and I think that's healthy," he added.

"So we're all friends, we're not going to say we're not, but the competition is there and we know what the goal is to play, which is good."
