It seems that booking in for a Celtic Park tour is s sure fire way to discovering the latest transfer news.
Last Thursday one eagle-eyed fan spotted Luca Connell and his family in the tunnel area with Peter Lawwell, on Saturday morning it had DONE DEAL stamped across it with the former Bolton kid all hooped up in Austria.
After the 0-0 draw with St Gallen Neil Lennon confirmed Celtic’s interest in Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo with Rapid Vienna confirming this morning that the left-back had left their training camp.
There were no airport arrival pictures but on a tour of Celtic Park today a slightly familiar figure appeared on the track.
UPDATE: At 5.30pm BBC Scotland published a picture of Mbombo arriving at Glasgow Airport adding to the mystery of who was pictured at Celtic Park….

Satisfaction at a third signing of the summer is cautioned by the constant speculation that Kieran Tierney is on his way to Arsenal or Napoli, depending on the time of day.
Johnny Hayes has been the regular left-back so far in pre-season but by the time the serious Champions League qualifiers come round Neil Lennon will be hoping that Tierney or Mbombo are upto speed for that role.
