Celtic have completed the signing of Swedish defender Gustaf Lagerbielke.
The 23-year old joins from Elfsborg for a fee of around £3million.
He has signed a five-year deal with the club.
Lagerbielke has already made his debut for the Swedish national team and becomes Brendan Rodgers' seventh signing of the summer.
He has been drafted in as the replacement for fellow countryman Carl Starfelt who joined Celta Vigo last week.
The defender told the club's official website: "Speaking of his move to the Scottish Champions, Gustaf said: “It feels really good, and I’m really excited and proud to be here.
“The first thing you think of when you hear the name ‘Celtic’ is obviously the fans, this stadium and the atmosphere the fans create here.
“And also, all the good players who have played here and who are playing here now, so I’m really excited to play with them and hopefully win a lot of games and titles.”
