Reports of this deal only came to fruition earlier this afternoon, with it being suggested that the Hoops were coming closer to completing a move for the young defender.
It is also thought that we beat off competition from sides in England and abroad such as Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Benfica to name a few.
Urhoghide can play in both central defender and right-back. Both areas which Ange Postecoglou is in desperate need of going into next season.
He also becomes Celtic’s second piece of business this window, joining his former teammate Liam Shaw at the club.
Next week, the squad heads off to Wales on a pre-season camp as we begin to prepare for the 2021/22 competitive campaign. Fingers crossed, this is just the beginning of many signings coming through the door in the next few weeks.
Let’s hope he’s bought for future I don’t know much about player so leave my judgement we had a perfect storm last season Murphy law so crowds back players will play up to there form rangers had opposed everything went there way the usual friendly refs scottish gov one law for celtic one law for well u know who
Welcome now let us see more new faces…and get this show on the road…
Plus the Griff situ sorted.
Big Ange is in the door five mins and is getting down too business, some folk should wind their neck in and let the Big Man get on with it.
