We’ve known of the deal for some time, and it’s a move Celtic wanted earlier in the transfer window. CeltsAreHere.com was told by well placed sources that Sead was highly coveted by Ange Postecoglou before the SPFL season kicked off but Rubin Kazan were still hopeful of recouping a large part of his €6m transfer fee.

Sead wanted out of Russia and told Rubin that there was no circumstances where he’s dtay in the country. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine clearly a catalyst for so many European based players wanting to leave Russian football.
Rubin softened their stance around a week ago, when we spoke to in the know Swedish journalist Daniel Kristoffersson, he told CeltsAreHere that the player had his heart set on a move to Celtic.
Sead becomes Celtic’s eighth signing of the summer and gives us another potent attacking option heading into a hectic part of the season.
Welcome Sead Hacksabanovic!
