Shane Duffy arrives in Glasgow as Celtic set to parade new signing

Shane Duffy has arrived in Glasgow as Celtic prepare to officially parade their new signing.

The Brighton defender penned a season-long loan deal over the weekend with the Hoops.

Duffy was on international duty with the Republic of Ireland as the move was confirmed.

But he has now been pictured in Glasgow ahead as the new recruit gets set to hold that green and white scarf aloft for the first time at Parkhead.

Duffy skippered Ireland for their Nations League double header at the weekend as he scored a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Bulgaria.

But the 28-year-old couldn't help his country escape a 1-0 defeat to Finland on Sunday.

The stopper could make his Celtic debut for Saturday's away trip to Ross County.

Duffy is over the moon to have signed for Neil Lennon's side and hopes he can help Celtic on their Ten in a Row push this season.

He said: “I really am delighted to sign this deal with Celtic. It is a huge honour for me to join Celtic, such a huge institution and a brilliant football club that I have always loved and admired

“It will be a fantastic personal moment for me when I pull on the Celtic jersey. It’s just a great feeling – I could not be happier to be part of the club now and I just can’t wait to start working with the manager, the staff and the players when I return from International duty with Ireland.

“We will be challenging on a lot of fronts this season and I am really excited about getting going, as we try and bring the fans more and more success.”
