It's official. Shane Duffy has joined Celtic on a season-long loan and will now be in line to make his debut next Saturday week when the Scottish champions visit Global Energy Stadium in the tiny town of Dingwall for a league game against Ross County.

Elgin City aside, and only just, that is the furthest north Duffy could go and still play football on Scotland's professional ladder and it will be a far cry from the other options that were available to him before he chose Glasgow.
