Oliver Abildgaard completes Celtic transfer as Ange Postecoglou makes late deadline day swoop

Celtic have completed the deadline day capture of midfielder Oliver Abildgaard.

Ange Postecoglou refused to rule out any ins and outs at Parkhead heading into the final moments of the summer window and he's now landed his latest capture from Rubin Kazan as he makes it a third signing from the Russian outfit since his arrival in Glasgow.

The Denmark cap has put pen to paper on a season-long loan deal as he joins former team-mates Carl Starfelt and Sead Hasabanovic at the Scottish champions. He will now look to help Celtic retain the Premiership title they won from rivals Rangers last term and make a splash in the Champions League that includes a mouth-watering showdown with Real Madrid.
