Defiant Jim Goodwin reckons Aberdeen fans should be "comfortable" with Liam Scales’ arrival at Pittodrie after a backlash over another loan arrival from Celtic.
Scales penned a season-long loan from the Scottish Premiership champions over the summer to make the Irishman the latest star to leave Parkhead for the Granite City on a temporary basis. Ryan Christie was a success during his loan stay at Pittodrie, before returning to Glasgow to forge out a successful career in Glasgow's east end. In contrast, Adam Montgomery failed to make an impact during his loan stint last term.
The deal for Scales led to a section of the Aberdeen support urging the club to stop signing players from the Scottish champions on short-term deals before their thumping win over Stirling Albion, with a banner calling for "no more Celtic loans". The Dons boss has now shut down any doubts over the Ireland U21 cap, insisting the full-back has already silenced any doubters with his Premier Sports Cup performances.
