Celtic have confirmed the signing of French midfielder Olivier Kapo. The former French international has joined the club on a short-term contract subject to international clearance.

Kapo was a free agent having been released by Wigan Athletic in the summer and was therefore eligible to sign for the Hoops outside the transfer window.

Kapo, who has nine caps for France and has also played for Birmingham City and Juventus, has expressed his delight at the move.

“Celtic is a wonderful club and I will be trying to get to my full power as soon as possible to work for Neil Lennon and the team,” he said.

Kapo will be officially unveiled at Celtic’s Lennoxtown training centre later today.
