Georgios Samaras has signed a six month loan deal with Celtic.
The 22-year-old striker signs on loan from Manchester City and is eligible for the Champions League matches with Barcelona.
After being frozen out at City by Sven Goran-Eriksson the striker is looking to win a place in the Greek squad looking to retain the European Championship in the summer.
Twenty four hours ago Samaras had been linked with a move to Rangers but has instead opted to sign for Scotland's Champions League team.
Joining Georgios today at Celtic is Koki Mizuno as the transfer window prepares to close.

Half empty... or half full
Thankfully Scott McDonald earned us the points today at Falkirk.
A poor poor team performance raised lots of concerns but the bottom line is that the match was won and that's all that really matters just now.
Wednesday's match at Motherwell will present a similar challenge but it's unlikely that we'll get the points with a similar display.
We need to up the ante, start playing well, scaring teams, scoring goals and putting the pressure on Rangers to let them know that every slip will be punished.

Fallon's Falkirk preview
John Fallon looks forward to Sunday's game at Falkirk.
VIDEO PREVIEW
With four straight wins, and clean sheets, behind us hopefully the miseries of December are in the past as the title race hots up.
Four consecutive away games in the SPL and Scottish Cup will be a big test for the squad but nothing less than four wins will be good enough if we are to retain the double.
Speculation will be rife ahead of the transfer window closing next Friday, if we're six points and a few players better off on February 1 then we'll be in great shape for the remainder of the season... and the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Fixture common sense breaks out!
Congratulations to the SFA for working to ease the fixture congestion by shifting Gretna's Scottish Cup commitments to Dumfries.
With Celtic facing Motherwell at Fir Park on Wednesday January 30 the Gretna-Morton Scottish Cup replay, due to be played at Fir Park two days earlier, has been relocated to Palmerston Park, home of Queen of the South.
Fir Park will now have four days of a breather before Celtic travel there, great to see some common sense out there.
