The 20-year-old joins the Scottish League One side on loan until the end of the season. 

A regular for Celtic's B side last term, Robertson played 28 times in the Lowland League and seven in the UEFA Youth League. 

"I’m excited with this move, the club has big ambitions of where they want to be," he told ictfc.com

"It’s been a quick turnaround; I spoke to the gaffer who was great with me so I’m looking forward to getting started."

Robertson could make his Inverness debut against Kelty Hearts tomorrow. 

Boss Scott Kellacher said: "We’re over the moon to get Mitchell in, he’ll be a massive addition for us. He gives us that bit of strength in depth in the centre-back position.

"We’d like to thank Shaun Maloney, Jonny Hayes and Celtic FC for their assistance with this loan agreement."

Robertson has previously won the Scottish Youth Cup and Glasgow Cup with Celtic. 

He featured for Brendan Rodgers' first team in pre-season, setting up Colby Donovan's late winner away to Cork City.
