Gordon Dalziel Criticizes Celtic’s Centre-Back Pairing After 2-2 Draw with Aberdeen

Former top-flight striker Gordon Dalziel has expressed concerns about Celtic’s centre-back pairing, Auston Trusty and Liam Scales, following their 2-2 draw with Aberdeen at Celtic Park.

Celtic’s Disappointing Draw

The Bhoys were poised to assert their dominance in the Scottish Premiership title race by ending Aberdeen’s unbeaten run. However, despite leading 2-0 at halftime courtesy of goals from Reo Hatate and Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic allowed Aberdeen to mount a stunning comeback.

Aberdeen’s Ester Sokler scored just five minutes into the second half, and Graeme Shinnie equalized on the hour mark. The match concluded with a frantic finish, including ten minutes of added time.

Dalziel’s Critique

Dalziel, speaking on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard, questioned the compatibility of Celtic’s centre-back pairing:

“I don’t think the two centre-halves complement each other.”

This criticism raises concerns about Brendan Rodgers’ defensive selections, particularly with Cameron Carter-Vickers now available for selection.

Rodgers’ Defensive Dilemma

The Celtic manager faces a crucial decision ahead of their Champions League match against Atalanta. Will he opt for Trusty and Scales or introduce Carter-Vickers to shore up the defense?

Celtic’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed against Aberdeen, and addressing this issue is paramount to their success in both domestic and European competitions.
