Celtic sign United defender Tyler Blacket on loan

Celtic have announced the signing of Tyler Blackett on a season long loan from Manchester United.

The 21-year-old defender has previously had loan spells at Blackpool and Birmingham and could be a replacement for Virgil van Dijk, linked heavily with a move to Southampton.

The announcement was made on the Parkhead club’s website during their Ladbrokes Premiership game with St Johnstone.

The England Under-21 cap was introduced to the home support at the interval to a rousing cheer and was photographed in traditional style, holding a Celtic scarf aloft.
