The transfer news just keeps coming but this time it’s related to a former Celtic star.

As fans wait for news from Brendan Rodgers about new additions to the Celtic first-team, it appears that ex-players have no trouble getting their next move.

Celtic hero Matt O’Riley could also be on the move after his £25m transfer to Brighton last summer seems to have turned sour.

Scott Bain left Celtic for Falkirk after the Parkhead club released him from his contract last week and now it seems that a player the Hoops sold way back in 2021 has no problem finding a new club despite his shocking record in Glasgow.

Patryk Klimala teams up with Celtic hero Ki Sung-Yeung

Patryk Klimala was signed by Neil Lennon prior to the COVID season for £3.5m and despite impressing Celtic fans with his debut, he really struggled in Glasgow.

Klimala scored just three goals in 28 appearances for Celtic before he left the club to join up with Ronny Deila’s New York Red Bulls in April 2021.

Since then, the Polish striker has played in Israel, Poland, Australia, before heading back to his homeland for a third period with Slask Wroclaw.

But now, The Scottish Sun reports that Klimala will now join the TENTH club of his career and at just 26, the striker will play in his fourth continent after joining South Korean side FC Seoul.

He’s the first-ever Polish footballer to play for the club.

Klimala teams up with Celtic hero Ki Sung-Yeung as they both look to take Seoul back to the top of the K-League next season.

Patryk Klimala’s prolific goalscoring spell after leaving Celtic

Klimala’s confidence must have been shot to pieces after failing at Celtic. However, he has still proven that he has quality in front of goal.

The Polish forward’s most prolific season so far was at Sydney FC where Klimala scored 17 goals in 31 appearances for the A-League side. He also created five assists.

Now in South Korea, Klimala will be hoping to put down some roots and try to win some silverware since he won a Scottish Cup winner’s medal at Celtic in 2020.
