Tony Watt makes Charlton Athletic switch

Former Celtic striker Tony Watt moves to Charlton Athletic from Belgian side Standard Liege.

Former Celtic striker Tony Watt has joined Charlton Athletic on a three-and-a-half-year contract.

The 21-year-old moves to the Championship club following a brief spell with Belgian side Standard Liege.

The Scottish forward scored three goals in 21 games during his time with Liege.

"He's a guy who can score goals, he has a lot of pace, especially round the back of the defence, and although he's only 21 he has a lot of experience already and has played in the Champions League," Charlton boss Bob Peeters told the club's official website.

"He needs a little bit of time to settle in, but I hope the fans can back him up and give him the confidence that he will need to be the player that he can be."

Watt scored Celtic's second goal during their famous 2-1 win over Barcelona in the Champions League three years ago.
