Celtic defender Liam Scales suffered a defeat with the Republic of Ireland against Kosovo in their opening match of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Starting at left-wingback, the 28-year-old was substituted after 88 minutes as Ireland unsuccessfully searched for a late equalizer against their 77th-ranked opponents.
The loss compounds a difficult period for Scales, who entered the international break following three consecutive defeats with Celtic, including a 3-1 home loss to Ferencváros. Scales and Ireland will next play against Israel on Sunday before the defender returns to club action against Motherwell on October 11.
