Celtic talent could emulate Kristoffer Ajer with Motherwell loan as ace backed to take step towards 'top player' potential

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A versatile player big in effort and stature alongside a similar sized packet of potential - that's the man Motherwell have landed on loan from Celtic - at least according to the common consensus.Liam Shaw displayed plenty of promise at Sheffield Wednesday and looked likely to be a first team regular south of the border, but he instead opted for Celtic over the English League One side.After signing a pre-contract early last year, Shaw was soon joined by Owls teammate Osaze Urhoghide, but both have struggled obtaining the same thing since last summer- regular games.Motherwell have moved to make sure at least one of them has a better chance of obtaining that in the Scottish Premiership this season by snapping up Shaw on a loan deal until the end of the term.While he's only made two competitive Celtic appearances, the midfielder capable of playing centre-back has played 24 times for Sheffield Wednesday, viewed as one of their academy's brightest products of recent years.His spell in Sheffield didn't end in harmonious fashion, as fans were left unhappy with his move to Celtic, some of the disappointment directed at the club's board for not getting him signed up long-term.Dominik Howson - a Sheffield Wednesday reporter at Yorkshire Live - says it's a case of what could have been for Shaw after leaving Sheffield Wednesday as he was likely to be a regular under boss Darren Moore.He said: "I think Shaw probably expected it to pan out this way as well.

He probably knew that he was going to struggle to get into the first team immediately, but I still think he would have expected more opportunities."It was always a bit of a risky move for him.
