    Just defend big man. And maybe score some goals too.

    Great signing..

    Just heard the way he was buzzing about making the move there..

    Guy literally has burst a gut to make the move here and rejected other mid to lower half EPL side's in doing so..

    The types we want and have needed in. No nonsense big unit who gets it..

    As for his stats by the way. No bad for a big clogger in the EPL

    As an Irishman what a day. Watching him the last few years I couldn’t help but think he was just what we needed, never actually thought we could get him. Welcome big man HH

    Any word on a possible option to buy next year? Thought it seems abit strange Celtic paying a 2mil fee just for the loan

    being unfaithful isn’t restricted to fitba players, it’s not like j terry who slept with a teammates partner. I know nothing of his homophobic views but even if true we can educate him as we did with Griffiths about refugees

    All ties in with the Brighton stats where his passing was 77% in the top flight which is very good for a defensive, bottom half of the table Brighton side..

    Can't wait to get him in..

    Defensively and in both boxes we're gonna be so much more a powerful outfit..

    He can leave Jordan's pink motor on the Celtic way..

    Delighted with this. A real leader and a warrior in the defence, not had a defender like him in a long time, sort out the set pieces and he’ll chip in with a few goals as well

    Can only see this going well (barring any injury)

    Welcome Shane

    Only thing is too little to late , always a good signing after qualifiers. When will Celtic ever learn.

    Huge signing! It really does line us up nicely for back three now. We could put either Duffy, Julien, ajer, elhamed and even bitton in a back 3 and be comfortable at the back domestically too. Very exciting signing. I think ajeti and Duffy is very decent business, business to be proud of.

    Not sure if we will get much more business done, but would love to see someone giving Forrest competition and whilst I don't want to sound like a broken record, broony is on a countdown for me. We simply have to find his long-term replacement. At the end of this season he will be 36, it's a credit he has been able to maintain such high standards to this point. It'll borderline freakish if broony is able to have one of his best seasons this year. We have to expect a decline, we have to find the man ready to fill those boots. But anyway, back on topic. Welcome Shane! Very excited to have you, hope you enjoy it that much you decide your going nowhere when we celebrate the 10!

    * delighted at this! Good to see an irishman with his qualities sign for us, especially at the peak of his career! Surprised at the loan fee however PL is no fool, I think that'll go along way somewhere in his contract for when we buy him once the loans over. Can't wait to see him in action in the hoops. And for anyone discrediting him for his off field playing time, behave yourselves. Every last one of Yas would be balls deep in jordan if yous had the chance and he's no different! If he puts a good shift in for us every game, helps us win 10IAR, I couldn't care what he does or who he pumps on his time off.

    This was never gonna be an easy signing in that it doesn't do a lot for Brighton..

    They could've sold him for 10 to an EPL side but he has pushed for the move here only and been granted it for his loyalty and service to Brighton in the end..

    If we could've got him in a fortnight ago...we would've as it's been common knowledge for week's now..
