Motherwell have signed their second striker of the January window after Celtic’s Nadir Ciftci joined the club on loan until the end of the season.

The Turkish forward moved to Celtic from Dundee United in 2015 and spent the first half of the season on loan at Plymouth Argyll.

The 25 year old, who will wear the number 23 shirt, commented: “My first impressions have been really good. "It feels like home already. It gives me a good feeling already"

"I obviously know the league and the teams. I've played a lot of times against Motherwell as well so it will be a good place to kick on."

"Last January it was in the last minutes of the transfer window and it just didn't go through because of paperwork. Then in the summer, it was a bit different as well.

The arrival of Çiftçi is Motherwell’s second of the January transfer window, following the permanent signing of striker Curtis Main from Portsmouth.

Commenting on the signing Manager Stephen Robinson said: “I’m delighted to have got Nadir here until the end of season.

“He will provide us something different up front and he is a player of real pedigree.

"He is a player with a proven track record of scoring goals in the Scottish top flight and we're pleased to have got him here.
