The versatile left-sided player has joined the Scottish Premiership champions on loan until the end of the season.
Brendan Rodgers previously worked with the 32-year-old during his spell as manager of Leicester City.
And he has secured a reunion with the Ghanaian to help solve Celtic's problem at left-back.

Celtic have signed Kieran Tierney on a pre-contract from Arsenal, however, that deal could not be pushed through in this window.
Instead, the Hoops turned their attention to an alternative option to provide competition and back-up for Greg Taylor, with Alex Valle now gone.
Schlupp said: “I am really happy to join Celtic, such a massive and iconic name in football.
“I have spoken to Brendan, and I am really looking forward to working with him and the lads in the squad as we aim to bring more silverware to our supporters.
“The team has already done brilliantly this season, both domestically and in Europe, and I know I am joining a really successful team, but I want to add to this, to play my own part and help us achieve even more.
“I can’t wait to get started, to pull on those famous green and white hoops, meet the fans and give everything I have to bring us more and more good times.”
Brendan Rodgers added: “I am really pleased that we have been able to bring Jeffrey to the club. I know he will love it at Celtic and I am sure our fans will love him and what he can bring to us.
“He is a fantastic guy, someone with real high-level experience and with great attributes including power, pace and versatility.
“I know that he can be a really important addition to our squad this season.”
