Celtic winger Maryan Shved is doing all he can to impress during the second half of the season for Karpaty Lviv.
The Ukrainian was signed for £1.75m before being sent straight back on loan in January, and he scored an excellent goal for his current side at the weekend:

Of course, it is easy to get carried away by video clips but Shved’s performances this season have been pretty impressive in the Ukrainian Premier League.
The 21-year-old has scored 14 goals in 22 league appearances, despite playing both as a winger and a central striker.
The standard of Ukrainian football may not be up there with the best in Europe, but Shved has room to develop considering his relatively young age.
If you take into account as well that Celtic secured him for a relatively modest fee, it is not much of a gamble and he could prove to be a really good find.
