We had a feeling these announcements would come today and with four hours left of the transfer window, Celtic have announced the signings of Andrew Gutman and Manny Perez.
We reported back on the Perez deal back in December while the Gutman trial has been well documented, although there was speculation last week that the player had gone AWOL.
Both will head straight into the developmental side after their respective loan deals.
??? We can confirm the club has signed young Americans @_andrewgutman and Manny Perez on three-and-a-half-year contracts.
Both players will continue their development through loan moves back in the USA. Welcome to #CelticFC, Bhoys! ?

Celtic have recruited a few players for the future in this window, with these two officially joining Maryan Shved as players to come in with next season and beyond in mind.
With hours left of the transfer window, Celtic are expected to bring in one more player with it likely being Jeremy Toljan from Dortmund.
Both are heading back out on loan, much like the Shved deal to continue their development. Celtic making sure there’s a lot of options going forward for the future.
