Celtic were fairly quiet in the January transfer window, but have now snapped up their first signing for next season.

Who knows if Neil Lennon will even be in charge next term, but a bargain arrival is heading to Parkhead no matter what.

Yorkshire Live report that Sheffield Wednesday talent Liam Shaw has agreed a pre-contract deal with Celtic, and will be heading to Scotland at the end of the season.

Wednesday had been in talks to extend the 19-year-old’s contract with his boyhood club, but Celtic have swooped in to get him signed.

The Bhoys will allegedly pay £300,000 in compensation for Shaw, who has emerged as one of Wednesday’s leading talents this season.

Capable of playing at centre back or in central midfield, Shaw has shown real potential at Hillsborough, and could now become Scott Brown’s heir at Parkhead.

Shaw, 19, has major potential for the future, and Neil Lennon has now admitted to the Daily Record that the deal for Shaw is ‘done’.

Wednesday fans will be gutted that one of their own has decided to leave, but amid ongoing chaos at Hillsborough, he seemingly feels that Parkhead is better for him right now.
