Celtic announced the official signing of Ismaili Soro on Monday evening, bringing an end to the chase for his signature which started much earlier this month.
Soro is now a registered Celtic player and is eligible to play in Celtic’s game on Wednesday against St Johnstone.
If he gets into the squad then he’s going to need an official number and today Celtic have revealed the 21-year-old will wear the number 12.
Celtic used their social media page to post a video of a Soro shirt being printed.

The club have brought in Soro and Klimala during the window so far and if they want to add to that tally they have until Friday evening.
After that, we will know exactly what Celtic are working with as they look to secure nine in a row and make a decent fist of it in the Europa League.
