CELTIC midfielder Liam Shaw looks set to join Motherwell on loan for the remainder of the season, according to reports.

The former Sheffied Wednesday ace looked certain to join St Johnstone earlier this week but now it looks like Graham Alexander has pipped Callum Davidson to his signature.

The Scotsman say a deal is almost complete for Shaw to join Motherwell until the end of the season.

Shaw agreed a switch to Celtic for a development fee and joined in the summer when his contract with the Owls expired.

Shaw has played just twice for the Hoops this term. He managed just over an hour against Real Betis in the Europa League group stages before a nine minute runout in the draw with St Mirren last month.
