Shved has signed a four-and-a-half year contract but will spend the rest of the season on loan with Karpaty.

He told Celtic’s website: “I’m very proud to be here and even prouder as a Ukrainian to be the first player from my country to sign for Celtic, particularly with what that means for football in Ukraine.

“So I’m going to do my absolute best to be an example for Ukrainian footballers and open up a door for them.”
