Liam Scales relishing Rangers and England derby double as Celtic star admits rivalry is same but different
dailyrecord.co.ukA derby double is Liam Scales' target as he prepares to do battle with another rival on the international stage.Six days on from Celtic swatting Rangers aside in the Scottish Premiership, the defender will line up for Ireland when they host England in the Nations League.
