Celtic have apparently signed Liam Shaw from Sheffield Wednesday on a pre contract, which implies that the manager may well have had a say in next season, despite it being fairly well accepted that he shouldn’t have anything of the sort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, it could also mean that the new man, whilst not officially in charge, is making his own plans behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or it could just be that Shaw is so determined to join Celtic he’s signed a pre contract anyway, without speaking to anyone at Celtic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which is probably how we ended up with Shane Duffy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Incidentally, the Irishman is determined to make amends for his poor showings this season, and since part of the problem appears to be he’s trying too hard, lets just hope that Stephen Welsh, who is fit for tonights game with Aberdeen, doesn’t hurt himself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of centre halves, or at least someone who can put in a tackle…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is what is killing football as a sport.
