EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: JOE DONNELLY

THE Hoops last week welcomed the signing of Ireland internationalist Shane Duffy from English Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion on a season-long loan.

Shane, who has also played with Everton and Blackburn Rovers, has made 130 appearances for Brighton, scoring eight goals and assisting five times for his team-mates in that time.

The 28-year-old centre-back signed for the Hoops when he was on international duty with Ireland as they prepared to face Bulgaria and Finland in Nations League matches – and the defender scored in the 1-1 draw with the Bulgarians.

Shane is delighted to seal this move to the nine-in-a-row champions and can’t wait to begin his career at Paradise. 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.
