New Celtic signing Liam Shaw is relishing a Hoops debut against former club Sheffield Wednesday.

The 20-year-old midfielder signed a four-year contract with the Parkhead club from the Owls last month.

Shaw looked forward to seeing some familiar faces on Wednesday afternoon in new Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou's first friendly match which will be played at Dragon Park in Newport.

He told CelticTV: "Hopefully I play well and show the gaffer what I'm about.

"It's going to be weird, to be honest, first game Celtic play against Sheffield Wednesday.

"But it's also going to be just like any other game, when you show on the pitch you don't think about anything, you just think about winning. I'm looking forward to it.

"I obviously know all the lads really well and they know how I play. But it will be nice to see a few familiar faces.

"I'll just go in and give it 100 per cent and see how it goes. I reckon it will be a tough game, it won't be easy at all. They've got a lot of good players still there.

"But we've got to play our football and play how we want to play and not worry about any other team."

Postecoglou has begun his refurbishment of the Celtic squad following last season's frustration when the club finished trophyless as the Premiership title returned to Old Firm rivals Rangers for the first time in a decade.

The former Australia boss handed a new one-year contract to striker Leigh Griffiths while 21-year-old defender Osaze Urhoghide has also been recruited from Sheffield Wednesday, with others expected to bolster the squad before the end of the transfer window.

There is no clarity yet around players such as Odsonne Edouard, Kristoffer Ajer and Ryan Christie, whose futures have been subject to speculation.

Celtic are ready to embark on a series of friendlies in preparation for the first leg of their Champions League second qualifying round against Danish League runners-up FC Midtjylland.

The Hoops play Wednesday at Dragon Park before taking on Charlton at the same venue on Saturday.

The Premiership side travel to face Bristol City on Wednesday, July 14 before hosting Preston on Saturday week.
