Celtic FC Women have signed Shannon McGregor, marking the club's first summer signing and the first recruit of manager Elena Sadiku since joining earlier this year.
Joining from SWPL side Hibernian, McGregor enters Paradise having made over 100 appearances for the Edinburgh outfit over the last seven years.
Speaking to Celtic TV, the 24-year-old midfielder said: "First of all, I just wanted to say that this is a dream come true for me. I’m a huge Celtic fan, so I’m over the moon.
"I’m really looking forward to getting going as a Celtic player. It’s going to be a huge change for me, but it’s something I am really looking forward to doing.
"The club set up seems to be amazing. I’ve been talking to all the guys here, so it just sounds amazing.
"I’ve always looked at Celtic as a team where I really like the style of play and I feel like I could see myself fitting in.
"That style of play of attacking and positive play going forward."
Under Sadiku, Celtic FC Women won last season's league championship – a feat that made history, marking the first time the Celtic women's side has clinched the SWPL title, and the first time both the men and women sides had been crowned champions of Scotland concurrently.
On her move to Glasgow, McGregor added: "I think everyone who knows me would say I’m very hard working and determined. I’ll give one-hundred percent every game.
"I know some of the girls really well from my time at Hibernian. I was really close with Amy Gallacher when she was there.
"I also know Colette Cavanagh so it’s great to have those girls, which will help me settle in a little bit more because it will be really new for me.
"I’m really looking forward to getting another taste of Champions League football. I think that is something that, at this point in my career, I wanted to succeed towards.
"Coming to Celtic was a huge part of that. I really enjoyed playing in the competition with Hibs, and now I can’t wait to do that with Celtic.
"I had a great chat with Elena. We’ve had a few long chats, and they’ve been great. I think she likes the mentality of players, and I believe I have that sort of mentality going forward."
