Virgo completes Celtic switch

Celtic have completed the signing of defender Adam Virgo from Brighton.

The 22-year-old has signed in a deal worth around £1.5m (€2.1m) to the Seagulls.

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has already signed Mo Camara, Maciej Zurawski, Jeremie Aliadiere and Artur Boruc ahead of their Champions League qualifiers.

The Hoops had two earlier bids rejected for Virgo, who has played for Scotland Future, but a fee was agreed over the weekend and the defender will be unveiled at a press conference at Parkhead at 5.30pm.

Virgo played a vital role as Brighton finished a point above the relegation zone in last season's Coca-Cola Championship, deployed as a makeshift striker when manager Mark McGhee was short of attacking options.
