ANGE POSTECOGLOU was pleased to get a deal for Liam Scales over the line as the Greece-born Australian finalises his squad ahead of the transfer window closing.
The new signing, a 23-year-old Irish centre-back, will sign a four-year deal once the move is granted international clearance, and is believed to have joined for a fee of around £500,000 from Shamrock Rovers.
Speaking to the Celtic website, Postecoglou explained what supporters can expect from the new recruit - adding that Scales' versatility is likely to prove useful at Parkhead.
He said: "Liam is a young player who has impressed us and is someone who we think has the potential to have a big future at Celtic.
"He is an athletic defender who has the ability to play in a number of positions.
"As I have said before, everyone at the club has been working hard to add depth and quality to our squad and in signing Liam I think again we have made good progress.
"We all look forward to welcoming Liam to Celtic and to start working with him."
