Celtic officially announced the signing of Maik Nawrocki on Wednesday morning, following the earlier confirmation of South Korean duo Hyun-Jun Yang and Hyeok-Kyu Kwon.
The announcement came with a touch of humour, referencing a leaked photo of the trio that had circulated online prior to the official confirmation.

On Monday, an unofficial picture of the three players at Celtic’s training ground, Lennoxtown, wearing the iconic green and white hoops, had surfaced online. The image appeared after the signing of the Korean duo was confirmed and Nawrocki’s move to Celtic was all but official.
In a playful nod to the leaked photo, Celtic’s official Twitter account posted the picture of the three new signings with the caption, “A photo that definitely nobody has ever seen before”.
Almost every Celtic fan saw the picture, and we at CeltsAreHere reported on it too. Although, despite seeing Nawrocki donning the hoops, a few fans were getting nervous about the length of time it was taking for him to be announced to the Celtic support.
