Celtic have announced a signing out of the blue, and it is an interesting one. The Hoops have announced the signing of Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi on a season-long loan deal.

Unfortunately the deal does not have an option to buy at the end of the season. However, the move is certainly an exciting one by Celtic.

You would not bet against Neil Lennon starting the player. After all, he reportedly cost Southampton £16 million. You don’t keep those kind of players on the bench.

Should Elyounoussi help lead Celtic to a win at Ibrox, it will have to go down as one of the best Celtic debuts in a long time.

The last few days of the transfer window has certainly got exciting for Celtic fans. It will be interesting to see if the Hoops make more signings before the transfer window closes.
