Adam Virgo believes that Celtic have a gem on their hands after signing Kundai Benyu from Ipswich Town.
The 19-year-old left Ipswich on freedom of contract to sign a four year deal with the Scottish champions.
Virgo had a brief and unspectacular Celtic career under Gordon Strachan but has moved into the media as a Football League and National League expert.
Amazing move for Kundai Benyu signing for @celticfc what a great move for him. Take it from me your joining an amazing club best of luck.

Benyu has had a colourful career to date- playing for Spurs in the Next Gen Series and also being loaned out to Aldershot Town in the National League.
Spurs, West Ham and Aston Villa were reported to be interested in the 19-year-old while at Aldershot but with a reduced transfer fee involved for a cross border deal Brendan Rodgers has lured the player to Glasgow.
Benyu will fly out to Austria tomorrow to join up with his new team-mates as Rodgers puts the attacking midfielder through his paces in pre-season training.
