Celtic have completed the return of Jota from Rennes while Kyogo Furuhashi has finalised a move in the opposite direction. Japan striker Kyogo, who joined Celtic in summer 2021 at the same time as Jota, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club sitting third bottom of Ligue 1.

The former Benfica youngster's return to Celtic has been held up due to the onset of Storm Eoywn in Scotland but Rodgers has confirmed that the deal is all but all done. The Irishman has also revealed Kyogo had expressed a desire to seek a new challenge months ago.
