Marian Shved raises Celtic return prospect as forgotten man makes playing time declaration

Forgotten man Marian Shved reveals he could return to Celtic in the summer after his successful loan spell in Belgium.

The Ukrainian winger joined the Parkhead club in January 2019 but struggled for game time.

A £2million signing in the latter days of the Brendan Rodgers reign, Shved found communication difficult and made just three substitute appearances last season.

He's spent this season on loan with KV Mechelen in Belgium and won plaudits for his performances, and the 23-year-old believes he could yet carve out a career in Scotland.

Shved said: "At the moment the situation is that I will have to return to Glasgow at the end of the season because I have a contract with Celtic.

"What will happen next...I don't know.

"Maybe I will stay at Mechelen, perhaps I will move to another club or maybe I will stay with Celtic. The situation will have to be resolved within the next month or so.

"Celtic will have a new manager because they recently fired Neil Lennon.

"But we don't know yet who will take his place. Hopefully, I will know soon.

"The important thing for me is whether I will play or not. It's the same everywhere, no matter what club you are with.

"It's difficult for me to say whether I would adapt better in Scotland now after my time in Belgium."
