Irish media critique Liam Scales after loss to Kosovo

Summary

Liam Scales faces criticism following the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 loss to Kosovo on September 24, 2026. Deployed as a left wing-back by head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, Scales struggled defensively and made little impact offensively. The Irish media rated his performance poorly, with RTE giving him a 4/10 for his lack of contributions in attack despite showing some defensive resilience. Ireland will next face Austria and have two matches against Israel during the international break.
