ZeeboiLiam Burt has launched a scathing critique of his former club Shamrock Rovers, accusing them of neglecting him during his loan spell at Shelbourne.
The former Celtic and Rangers youth player parted ways with the League of Ireland side last week. In leaked WhatsApp messages, he slammed the Dublin-based club for failing to maintain contact after sending him to their city rivals.
The Scotland Under-21 international also alleged that he had to arrange his own surgery without any support from Rovers, a situation he described as “disgraceful,” especially after working independently to regain his fitness.
The messages from the former Ibrox academy prospect read: “Not once I was contacted checking up on how I was or how it was going,” Burt wrote in a WhatsApp addressed to the staff at his old club. Not once was I contacted with a well done. And worst of all, since the season finished I have not been contacted once from yous about anything a plan for me, leaving me in no man’s land not knowing if I was coming or going and mentally challenged from what was happening.
“Not once was I helped with my injury, and trying to sort the surgery, I had to organise that myself, which is disgraceful. And again, I was not once contacted checking up on me before surgery or asking how I was after surgery, or even contacting me giving me a plan and help with rehab since then. I was given no medical help or physio since I had surgery and had been to rehab on my own.
“It has been a week since I left the club and still heard nothing from yous, not like I’m surprised at this stage. I sincerely hope yous treat other people with a lot more respect going forward.”
