    Kapo completes move to Celtic

    Olivier Kapo in action for Wigan
    Kapo has been a free agent since his summer release from Wigan

    Celtic have completed a short-term deal for former Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic midfielder Olivier Kapo.

    The 30-year-old has signed a contract with Neil Lennon's side until the end of the season.

    The one-time French international was a free agent, having been released by Wigan in the summer.

    He joined the Latics from Birmingham for a £3.5m fee in July 2008, having moved to St Andrews from Italian giants Juventus a year earlier.

    The Ivory Coast-born midfielder broke into the French national side during his days at Auxerre, moving to Juve under freedom of contract in 2004.

    Kapo struggled to command a first team place with the Turin club and spent a season on loan at Monaco and a term at Levante in Spain before his switch to Birmingham.

    During his two seasons at Wigan, he was in and out of the team and had his contract terminated a year early by mutual consent, having spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at French outfit Boulogne.

    Celtic have announced a media conference for 1300GMT on Thursday to introduce Kapo.

    Look at those players and present and/or past injuries and you'll see why bother. McCourt and Maloney are always potential crocks. McGinn's just back from a decent lay off and so is Forrest.

    Sensible, I'd call it.

    Sounds like a decent move in my opinion, and hopefully he'll have a decent grasp of english - i mean we've been in the EU for nearly 40 years ffs. How long do they need?
