Oliver Abildgaard will be the latest player to join Celtic from Rubin Kazan after Ange Postecoglou agreed to the deal to bring in the Danish international defensive midfielder from the Russian side where he will join up with former Rubin Kazan teammates Carl Starfelt and Sead Hakšabanović.
Like Hakšabanović, Abildgaard wants out of Rubin Kazan due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the 26-year-old Danish international will be anxious to get a move ahead of the transfer window closing.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano updated us on this deal, stating: “Celtic are now set to sign Danish midfielder Oliver Abildgaard. Deal in place, the agreement has been reached now waiting to sign contracts.”
19th December 2021; Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland; Scottish League Cup final, Hibernian versus Celtic: Mikey Johnston of Celtic on the ball
More to follow on this one and there’s plenty of action anticipated today with fringe players like Mikey Johnston, Liam Shaw and Scott Robertson all likely to agree on loan moves while there’s possibly going to be some bids for Matt O’Riley and David Turnbull for Celtic to presumably knock-back.
