Wigan Athletic signing Gary Caldwell believes he was sold behind the back of Celtic manager Tony Mowbray.

He insisted Mogga wanted to keep him - with Celts chief executive Peter Lawwell and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond the men behind his departure.

Stopper Caldwell told the Scottish Sun: "You have to ask Peter and Dermot if they underestimated me as a footballer.

"They judged me and their judgement was a little bit off from mine.

"I have no regrets - I had three and a half years there and they were great for me. Hopefully I was good for them.

"But the boss had one opinion and the club had a different one. I think the club won in the end."
