Motherwell's Calum Ward has secured a move to English Championship side Queens Park Rangers. The transfer fee is reportedly £800k, less than what Celtic paid for Viljami Sinisalo in 2023.
What happened to Calum Ward's Celtic link?
Celtic were previously interested in signing Ward, but he has now penned a three-year deal with QPR.
Ward was outstanding for Motherwell last season, playing a key role in the team's impressive performances. As of now, Motherwell is 4th in Premiership with 54 points, 16 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian.
How does this affect Motherwell and Celtic?
Celtic's loss could be Motherwell's gain, as Ward's departure may lead to other teams taking notice of Motherwell's talented players. Elijah Just is still a Motherwell player, and many Celtic fans hope they will sign him soon.
What's next for Motherwell?
Motherwell's recent form has been impressive, with a 2-game winning run and a recent 1-0 win over Hibernian on 2026-05-16. The team's goal difference is +23, with 52 goals scored and 29 conceded this season.
Motherwell will look to build on this momentum, and Ward's transfer may have a significant impact on their upcoming matches.
