As you can see by the reaction below, the Celtic Park faithful absolutely loved the footage of Ange Postecoglou’s new recruit.

The 42-cap Republic of Ireland international has proven himself as a player of real pedigree across his 272 Premier League appearances.

He is an FA Cup winner, and was also a key member of the Everton side who nearly reached the Champions League under Roberto Martinez.
