The defender has moved to Glasgow until 2024 and has had some familiar faces in his ear about the deal.
Nat Phillips has revealed Andy Robertson is over the moon about his loan move to Celtic - and there might even be a hint of jealousy.
The central defender has completed a six-month loan deal from Liverpool that will see him provide much-needed central defensive cover for Brendan Rodgers, who has gone to one of his former clubs for his latest summer signing. A quickfire Premiership debut away at Rangers could now be in store and with Parkhead influences at Anfield, Phillips has been left in no doubt over who he's joining.
Virgil Van Dijk made himself a Hoops hero during his two-year stay between 2012 and 2014 while Scotland captain Robertson is a boyhood fan, having also been in the club's youth system. And he has made his feelings clear on the move. Phillips told Celtic TV: "I am really excited. When I heard about the interest, it got me excited.
"There were a few other options that didn't quite make me feel the same as this one did. So I was really keen to get it over the line. It's such a huge club, the fact they are in the Champions League this year and the mentality of the club, they want to be winners in everything they do. "Robbo was probably just as excited as I was - I think potentially a little bit jealous as well as he loves it here! Virg had a great time here so I have heard nothing but good things. I have seen Celtic compete in the competition over the years . Hearing the stories about the Champions League nights here, I am excited to see how they look."
