Celtic confirm signing of Emilio Izaguirre

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has confirmed today that Honduras defender Emilio Izaguirre has signed for the club.

Left-back Izaguirre trained with his new team-mates this morning at Lennoxtown after agreeing to move from Motagua in his homeland.

The 24-year-old, however, will feature in tomorrow night's Europa League qualifier against Utrecht after fellow new signing Daniel Majstorovic took the one available late spot in Celtic's Europa League squad.

But Lennon may play Izaguirre, who will compete with Charlie Mulgrew for the left-back spot, when Celtic host St Mirren in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League on Sunday.

Lennon said: "He trained today. He won't play tomorrow but should be available for selection after that.

"He's a good player. He's strong defensively, he's quick, he's got a

very good left foot and he's good going forward.

"He had a good World Cup for Honduras. (Full-back) is an area we've

been looking to fill for a while.

"We've taken our time with this one and we think we've got the right one."
