Celtic sign Jeffrey Schlupp on loan
Last updated 3rd Feb 2025
Celtic have signed defender Jeffrey Schlupp on loan from Crystal Palace.
The left-back, who can also operate in a number of different positions, joins until the end of the season.
He will provide competition Greg Taylor after Alex Valle loan was terminated earlier this month.
The 32-year-old is Celtic's second signing of the transfer window after Jota's emotional return to Parkhead.
Schlupp came through the ranks at Leicester City and was a teammate of Kasper Schmeichel as they won the Premier League in 2016.
He moved to Palace a season later and has made 247 appearances for the club.
The Ghanian also has 20 caps for his national team.
Schlupp told the club website: “I am really happy to join Celtic, such a massive and iconic name in football.
“I have spoken to Brendan, and I am really looking forward to working with him and the lads in the squad as we aim to bring more silverware to our supporters.
“The team has already done brilliantly this season, both domestically and in Europe, and I know I am joining a really successful team, but I want to add to this, to play my own part and help us achieve even more.
“I can’t wait to get started, to pull on those famous green and white hoops, meet the fans and give everything I have to bring us more and more good times.”
Rodgers added: “I am really pleased that we have been able to bring Jeffrey to the club. I know he will love it at Celtic and I am sure our fans will love him and what he can bring to us.
“He is a fantastic guy, someone with real high-level experience and with great attributes including power, pace and versatility.
“I know that he can be a really important addition to our squad this season.”
