Former Celtic player find news club following release

Former Celtic player Liam Shaw has found a new permanent club.

The midfielder has joined Fleetwood Town on a deal until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old was a free agent after leaving the Scottish Premiership champions in the summer.

Charlie Adam has swooped to sign the ex-Sheffield Wednesday academy prospect until the summer of 2025. 

Fleetwood are currently in the promotion places in League Two after a strong start to the campaign.

He signed a four-year deal with Celtic in 2021 but things didn't work out in Glasgow under Ange Postecoglou or Brendan Rodgers.

Loan spells at Motherwell, Morecambe and Wigan Athletic followed. 

He now has a new permanent home though, and will be looking to make his debut tomorrow at Bromley away.

Meanwhile, Rodgers should be granted leeway by Celtic fans despite his side's 7-1 humiliation in Germany this midweek.

That's the view of former striker Chris Sutton, who believes that while his old club were well beaten by better players, they at least tried to approach the game with a positive mindset.

The pundit insists that if a repeat of this heavy defeat occurs again in the Champions League under the Northern Irishman - with previous losses to the like of PSG, Barcelona and Manchester City on his watch - then that's when he should come in for some flak.

He wrote in his Daily Record column: "Brendan Rodgers does not deserve a caning for taking a positive approach into Dortmund.

"But he will if the offence is repeated and that begs the critical question: What comes next?

"It’s obvious Rodgers’ preferred way was stripped apart by Borussia and, for my money, Callum McGregor hit the nail on the head."
