Celtic defender Osaze Urhoghide has completed a loan move to Belgian league side KV Oostende until the end of the season.
The 21-year old was Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou first signing in the summer when he joined the club from English side Sheffield Wednesday on a free deal – joining his fellow Owls teammate Liam Shaw in Glasgow.

However, the Dutchman has found first-team game time hard to come by, making just one appearance this season in the Hoops 3-2 Europa League victory over Real Betis in December at Parkhead.
So, the club and Urhoghide have taken the choice to get that game time elsewhere, with Oostende being the chosen destination, despite clubs in Scotland and England interested in bringing the defender in during this window.
Both Celtic and Oostende have worked together on a loan deal in the past, which saw Jack Hendry spend the season in Belgium last season before completing a permanent move there.
This should certainly be an interesting move for the talented young defender, who will hopefully get plenty of game time and continue his development as a player.
