Celtic misfit Liam Shaw admits he is eager for more game-time after sealing a season-long loan deal with Wigan Athletic.

The midfielder will team up with former Celtic and Scotland striker - and Hibernian manager - Shaun Maloney south of the border and is convinced the move will be a success.

Shaw joined Celtic from Sheffield Wednesday in 2021 but has made just two first-team appearances for the Hoops and has been farmed out to Motherwell and Morecambe, spending the whole of last term with the latter.

The 22-year-old said: “I’m really happy to be here. I just can’t wait to get started. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone, getting to know the boys, and getting down to business. 

“It’s a massive club and when I spoke to the manager I really bought into his vision. I can’t wait to get started.

“It will suit my game. The manager wants to play good, positive football, and be aggressive, which is what I want to do. I feel like it’s a really good fit.”

He told Latics TV: “The main thing for me is playing as many games as I can, and developing as a player, and as a person as well. I am looking forward to it.”
