Liam Shaw

Liam Shaw you say?

 

One goal in 12 apps, not really setting the world on fire in the Championship

 

He's a defensive midfielder in an atrocious Wednesday side going down..

 

My apologies.
I got that wrong, I thought he was an attacking mid.

 

From the clips I’ve seen of him, admittedly not a lot, looks more a McGregor type.

 

Let's hope so mate

 

Take it Sheffield Wed have taking the huff with this boy after the whole * about not announcing it. Since he posted it last week he was on the bench at the weekend and on the bench again tonight.

 

Mocked this uo quite proud of it

 

Another lad to sit on the bench for a few months till hes loaned out and never heard of again.....

 

We are gonna have * all players left in midfield so might actually get a chance

 

I hope the bhoy does well but I can’t help but feel he will be left to rot then loaned out like Luca Connell.

 

No reason a couple of players won't get a chance under the new management. Seems a player a manager like Howe will like and his ability to play defensive mid and centre back should also help

Liam Shaw is now officially a Celtic player, having put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the club, and the 20-year-old is delighted to have joined the Hoops.

Wearing the green and white Hoops for the first time, the former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder said: “It feels good, obviously. It’s a really nice kit in green. I’ve always been in blue but green is my new favourite colour.

'When I heard that Celtic were interested, I couldn’t believe it, to be honest – a club of this stature and one of the biggest clubs in Europe.'

"I can’t really describe how I feel, but it’s massive for me and my family to get that kind of recognition. I’ve signed now, so it’s up to me to start performing on the pitch.

“We’ve got a new manager so everyone has a fresh start and you’ve just got to go in and try to impress him.

“All the way through my career, I’ve had different managers so all you have to do is keep your head down and show your ability and show you’ve got a good attitude. And hopefully he picks me and I do well for him.”

Shaw, who came through the ranks at Sheffield Wednesday, signed a pre-contract agreement with Celtic back in March this year, and having now moved up to Glasgow, he can’t wait to report for duty at Lennoxtown.

“I’ll be here for pre-season, hopefully hit the ground running and meet all the lads, and just get my head down and work hard,” he said.

“It’ll be fresh for everyone, with a new manager, and it’ll be a new buzz around the place, and I can’t wait to get started and hopefully do well.”

Shaw made 22 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday last season, scoring one goal, and he’s keen to pull on the Hoops to show the fans what he can do.

“I’m looking forward to the pre-season games,” he said. “They’re there to get you minutes and also for the fans to see and to show what you can do, and I’m looking forward to it.

'I describe myself as a box-to-box midfielder, a lot of energy running up and down, I can score a goal, and be aggressive in that I like a tackle and I like to press people.'

And while he’s gearing up to kick off his Celtic career, Liam Shaw will also be a keen observer of the forthcoming European Championship, paying particular attention to the Scotland versus England fixture on June 18, given that there are a number of his new Celtic team-mates in the Scottish squad.

“I’d like to see Scotland do well because they’re now my team-mates,” he admitted, “but obviously, if England score, I’ve got to have my celebration.”

Like his new team-mates, Liam Shaw is also looking forward to playing at Paradise, and is hoping that he will be able to do so in front of supporters, including his own family.

“My family are very proud,” he said. “We sat down as a family and thought, this is the best choice for us, and for my career to join Celtic. They’re just very proud of me and they can’t wait for me to get started and be able to come up and watch me in my first game.

“That’s one of the best things about it – fans coming back into football because it’s not the same when fans aren’t in it. And my family will be really happy to come up and watch me.”

 

That type of signing we make and never actually see him and he’s released in 2 years…

 

Play well and kick a few huns up in the air

 

If he can come in and keep christie out the team I'll be happy

 

Purely higglights but I liked the look of this guy

 

Strokes it around nicely.

 

Hopefully hits the ground running... sounds like he likes to get stuck in.. Good luck lad
