After months of speculation, the bhoys finally secured the services of Bernardo on a permanent basis this week. The Portuguese midfielder, who had a significant impact during his loan spell from Benfica last season, inked a five-year contract, much to the delight of the Celtic support.

Coming through the ranks at Benfica, it was a major step for Bernardo to leave his boyhood club and fully commit to Celtic. His performances last season showcased his potential, with some standout moments that made his signing a priority for the club.

While Celtic fans celebrated this exciting signing, Benfica took to social media to share a heartfelt goodbye video, acknowledging Bernardo’s contributions to the club and wishing him the best for his future at Celtic.

The gesture added an emotional touch to what has been a widely praised transfer, as the midfielder now looks ahead to building on his previous success with the Hoops.

Bernardo could make his second debut for the club as early as Sunday. With the ink barely dry on his contract, he’s likely to feature on the bench for the match against Kilmarnock. Depending on his fitness levels, we might see him introduced in the second half, adding fresh legs Celtic look to start the season with a win. Supporters will be keen to see how he slots back into the side, and if he can pick up where he left off last season.
