Some Sheffield Wednesday fans have been buzzing in response to a tweet that was recently posted by Owls-focused journalist Alex Miller who has shared the news that ex-Owls player Sean Clare is set to play in Scotland’s second tier next season as things stand. 

Miller’s tweet shares a link to an article that was recently published by The Sheffield Star which explains that the 2019/20 Scottish Premiership season has officially been decided on a points-per-game basis following a board meeting on Monday. This means that Hearts, the team where Clare currently plays his football, are set to play in Scotland’s second-tier next season after being relegated following this decision to call an end to the 2019/20 campaign. 

The Sheffield Star’s article also explains that Clare “turned down a new contract” from the Owls before he departed from Hillsborough back in 2018. Considering that Clare turned down Wednesday to join Hearts back in 2018, it may not come as a big surprise that some Wednesday fans have been reacting positively to this news of Clare’s relegation to Scotland’s second-tier.

What do we think?

It may be harsh to celebrate another team’s relegation, especially in these circumstances. However, Clare may not be a popular man among the Hillsborough faithful after the way in which he left the club and that may explain the reactions of these Wednesday fans.
