Celtic have signed Josip Juranovic from Legia Warsaw on a five year contract. The club confirmed that the player would join up with his teammates next week after putting pen to paper today.

Juranovic started his career as a midfielder, which may stand him in good stead to play in Postecoglouโ€™s desired IWB role. For Legia, the ten-cap Croatian Internationalist made 40 appearances as they won the Polish title. These performances lead to him being used as the first pick at Euro 2020 as Croatia finished second in the group after beating Scotland 3-1 at Hampden.

After just a year in Poland, Celtic have signed the player for a deal for just over ยฃ2.5m. This represents an excellent deal for Celtic, especially considering that this is Croatiaโ€™s first-choice right-back. Hopefully, the deal will be the first of a few that are concluded in the coming days as Angeโ€™s side look to strengthen.

Celtic have been looking for a right back for a number of weeks but this has allows the emergence of Tony Ralston under Ange. The fullback will be targeting a Scotland call-up and certainly wonโ€™t be giving his jersey up easily to Juranovic. For Celtic, they must now look at strengthening in other positions ahead of the closure of the transfer window.
