Premiership champions Celtic are reportedly closing in on the transfer of Denmark cap Oliver Abildgaard.
The 26-year-old midfielder is poised to become the third transfer from Rubin Kazan after the arrivals of Carl Starfelt and Sead Haksabanovic. Ange Postecoglou hinted he was on the lookout for reinforcements before the window closed and the midfielder appears to fit the bill.
Abildgaard has been seeking an exit from Russia, amid the country's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and is set to link-up with some familiar faces in Glasgow's east end, reports Fabrizio Romano. The former AaB man will be aiming to make an instant impact as Celtic gear up for a crunch double header against Rangers and Champions League holders Real Madrid. The arrival of Abildgaard will further bolster Postecoglou's options in the engine room after securing the services of Aaron Mooy earlier this summer.
