Celtic new Bhoy Maryan Shved says he won’t repeat his failings with Sevilla.

The winger failed to push his way into the first team as an 18-year-old.

Instead he went back to hometown club Karpaty Lviv where Celtic have purchased him from.

Now, aged 21, the Ukrainian international sets his sights on improving his career with Celtic.

Maryan Shved doesn’t want Sevilla mistake

The right-sided youth star joined the Hoops in the January window but was loaned back immediately.

With the Ukrainian top flight over, Shved will hook up with his new teammates next month.

The winger got 11 goals and three assists in 20 appearances this season, which attracted attention.

However, this isn’t the first time a big club has signed him and he doesn’t want a repeat of the journey.

He told the Daily Record: “A few years ago I left to go to Seville. But I was 18 years old then and still a child.

“It took a lot of time for me to adjust, but I also grew up a lot and understood many things better.

“I won’t repeat the same mistakes in Scotland.”

However, the youngster will have a mass of players to compete with once he arrives in Glasgow.

Maryan Shved vs the rest

When Brendan Rodgers signed him, the Irishman said the club had a million wingers.

This won’t change much by the time Shved arrives in Glasgow to start pre-season training.

Fortunately, being a right-sided player means it’s only James Forrest he will compete with.

On the other side, the likes of Jonny Hayes, Scott Sinclair and even Lewis Morgan will be sniffing around.

Not forgetting young Mikey Johnston, Karamoko Dembele and Armstrong Oko-Flex who will push next season.

Shved will need to be the best of the crop to stand a chance with the Hoops.

Let’s hope his bark is as good as his bite as the Hoops seek to return to the Champions League.
