The defender impressed on trial during December and manager Brendan Rodgers sees the player as a long-term option on the right side of his defence with current starter Mikael Lustig out of contract in the summer.

£8m price tag for defender

Celtic’s hopes of landing defender Omar Elabdellaoui have taken a blow after it was revealed by the Scottish Sun that the defender has a price tag of £8 million.

The Scottish champions have reportedly tabled an offer of £4 million but the player’s club are demanding double the fee.

Norwegian international was formerly on the books of Manchester City and Hull City.
