Former Celtic striker Tony Watt is looking for yet another new club after leaving OH Leuven on Monday.

The 24-year-old, who shot to fame after scoring Celtic’s winner against Barcelona five and a half years ago, confirmed his departure from Leuven on Twitter, after failing to play ‘much football’ following Nigel Pearson’s appointment as manager.

The Belgian side, who hail from the city which is most famous for producing Stella Artois lager, were the ninth club of Watt’s career – with Celtic number two on that list.

Since his exit came after the close of the January transfer window, the former Scotland international must wait until the summer before he can sign for another club whose season has a summer/autumn start date.

Of course, not everyone feels the same way, though.
