Ex-Celtic outcast Marian Shved scores as Shakhtar Donetsk stun RB Leipzig

Ex-Celtic flop scores double as Shakhtar Donetsk stun RB Leipzig

FORMER Celtic player Marian Shved became a hero for new club Shakhtar Donetsk last night. 

The attacker helped the Ukrainian side to a stunning 4-1 win over RB Leipzig in Germany in their Champions League group opener.

The ex-Celtic outcast bagged twice as Shakhtar opened their Group F campaign with a huge win.

The Ukrainian's have had to undergo somewhat of a team rebuild after losing 15 players since Russia's invasion of the country earlier this year.

Shved joined towards the end of the summer transfer window - after refusing to play for Mechelen.

A huge mistake from Leipzig's goalkeeper allowed Shved an easy chance to score. 

The 25-year-old scored again shortly after the home side had equalised.

Shved was signed for Celtic under Brendan Rodgers in January 2019.

He joined the Scottish champions for £2million, but was hardly seen in a Hoops jersey.

He then completed a switch to Belgium with Mechelen after impressing on loan.
