Marian Shved has published a picture of him home in the Ukraine with his family.

Most of the Celtic first team squad seem to be enjoying a holiday in Dubai ahead of their winter training break but it looks like there is no place like home for the young winger and his family.

Shved signed for Celtic in January 2019 but has been restricted to two brief substitute appearances.

Celtic fans had high hopes for the 22-year-old after watching highlights of him back on loan with Karpaty Lviv followed by a debut goal soon after appearing as a substitute against Nomme Kalju in July.

An injury brought his progress to a halt with just a 15 minute run against Ross County in October to his name domestically.

Shved’s previous Instagram post was in July after scoring against Nomme Kalju

The history books will have Shved down as Brendan Rodgers’ final Celtic signing but the Irishman made it very clear that he had little involvement in the signing.

Celtic may be a few short of the millions of wingers comment that Rodgers made but there does seem to be a number of obstacles to the Ukrainian making an impact at Celtic.

Going out on loan would seem the obvious January solution, especially for the player with Ukraine playing in the 2020 European Championship Finals, but matching an attacking player in with the right club for four or five months is a very difficult task.
