Scottish Championship side Inverness have confirmed the signing of young defender Jamie McCart on a two-year deal from Scottish champions Celtic – and Hoops fans have questioned the decision on Twitter, while Tony Watt also posted.

The 20-year-old leaves Celtic after making only one appearance for the Hoops, coming on as a substitute during the 5-0 Scottish League Cup win over Motherwell in August 2016.

Brendan Rodgers, manager of Celtic holds the Scottish Cup Trophy following the Scottish Cup Final between Motherwell and Celtic at Hampden Park on May 19, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

His contract on Parkhead had expired on May 31 and was seemingly on the lookout for a new club, with Inverness landing the highly-rated Scotland Under-21 international on a free.

McCart has already played for Inverness, joining them for the second half of the 2016-17 campaign in which he made 11 appearances for the Caley Jags. Now, he joins them on a permanent basis.

Celtic fans and former striker Tony Watt have reacted to the news on Twitter, with the majority of supporters claiming that Inverness have landed a steal in the centre-back.

Watt sent his congratulations to former teammate McCart, while one Celtic fan described McCart as “world class”.
