Former Motherwell boss Stevie Hammell has taken up a new role at Celtic.

Hammell was sacked by the Fir Park side in February after a poor run of results.

However, he has now been picked up by Celtic as their new head of academy coaching.

The 41-year old will report to head of academy Chris McCart.

He told the club's official website: “It is a great honour to join Celtic and I am really excited about the opportunity that has been given to me.

"It is a hugely successful and exciting time for the Club at all levels and I am looking forward to making my own contribution to add to the fantastic ongoing work right across our Academy.

"I know the Club has a rich history of developing its own young players. It is an important area for the Club and I can’t wait to get started to play my part in working with our coaches to bring our players through to make their own contribution to this great club at the highest level.”
