Dudu Dahan at Paradise as Celtic complete the signing of Ismaila Soro

CELTIC have officially announced that they have completed the signing of Ismaila Soro, who has joined the Scottish Treble Treble winners and Premiership leaders on a four-and-a-half year contract.

Celtic paid a fee of £2million to Israeli side, Bnei Yehuda for the Ivorian midfielder who will be introduced to his new team-mates at Lennoxtown tomorrow as the team prepare for Wednesday evening’s trip to Perth to play St Johnstone.

Soro joins Polish striker Patryk Klimala as the new arrivals as we head towards to transfer window closing at the end of the week.

Neil Lennon is still hopeful of bringing in more new recruits with experienced ‘oven ready’ pros being the priority. Filip Benkovic remains on his radar although there are at least three clubs south of the border interested in the Leicester City fringe player who spent last season on loan at Celtic Park.
