CELTIC striker Nadir Ciftci has agreed to join Polish club Pogon Szczecin on loan until the end of the season after passing a medical. 

The striker is out of favour at Parkhead, having made only four appearances all season, and will join the Ekstrakalasa side on a temporary deal for the remainder of the campaign.

Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers had confirmed during a press conference on Thursday that the move would go ahead, with Poland's transfer window remaining open until the end of February.

"He will go out on loan to a club in Poland," said the manager.

"He went out there (on Thursday). It is good for him to get some games."

Ciftci joined the Hoops from Dundee United in July 2015 and is set for his second loan move away from the club, having spent the second half of last season at Eskisehirspor in his home country.
