Celtic's hefty Jeff Schlupp wage contribution revealed

Celtic will pay half of Jeffrey Schlupp's Crystal Palace wage while he is at the club, according to reports.

The versatile utility player joined the Scottish Premiership champions on loan until the end of the season on transfer deadline day as Brendan Rodgers looked to bolster his squad.

While the Parkhead boss didn't add a striker to his ranks late in the window, Schlupp arrived on a temporary basis, and according to Alan Nixon of The Sun, Celtic will pay half of his £60,000-per-week Crystal Palace wage while he is in Glasgow.

Rodgers' side possess no option to buy Schlupp at the end of his loan, although his contract at Selhurst Park expires at the end of the current season, meaning he could be available on a free transfer this summer.

Able to play anywhere on the left-hand side, in midfield, or even up front, Schlupp could make his Celtic debut this evening against Dundee.

Victory would see the team from Glasgow's east end move 13 points clear of city rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
