Celtic have completed the loan signing of right-back Moritz Bauer from Stoke City.
The defender, 27, has joined from the Potters for the season.
Neil Lennon has been desperate to bring in another defender to compete with fellow new Bhoy Hatem Abd Elhamed.
Kris Ajer has been playing on the right in the Israeli's stead but Bauer represents a move in the right direction for the Hoops.

Bauer told the club website on the completion of the deal: "Iām really, really looking forward to it. I know about the stadium, the historical Celtic Park, and I hope that I can win trophies here and have a very successful season.
āItās a massive club with a big history and when you see the stadium from the outside and the players there who have already worn the jersey - they are big names.
"I love being here and having the target of being first as I like that pressure.
"There are players here who have already won titles, and itās a big opportunity for me to learn from them and grow as a player as I hope to be part of a successful team."
