Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is finally in Celtic colours.
After the January transfer window slammed shut, Celtic had one more deal up their sleeve, as they added the experience of Oxlade-Chamberlain to their ranks.
Before Celtic beat Dundee in the Scottish Cup on Saturday evening, the club announced their new arrival, and he was introduced onto the Parkhead pitch before kick-off.
Oxlade-Chamberlain also took to Instagram to express his delight at signing for the champions of Scotland, as some familiar faces reacted to his move.

Oxlade-Chamberlain stated on social media that he ‘can’t wait’ for the challenge Celtic will provide him in the coming months.
The 32-year-old, who left Turkish giants Besiktas last summer, has been training with Arsenal in recent months, and there was the suggestion they could offer him a new deal.
Nonetheless, when Oxlade-Chamberlain posted about his Celtic move on his socials, this is what Declan Rice, Andy Robertson, among others, posted in the comments section.
Oxlade-Chamberlain: ‘Delighted to be here! Ready to go and can’t wait for the challenge ahead! #CelticFC 🍀.’
Declan Rice: What a guy!!!! smash it, brother ❤️Perrie Edwards: Let’s goooooo baby!!!!!!Andy Robertson: 💚💚Theo Walcott: Good luck, my friend 🍀🙌🏽Kieran Gibbs: Congrats, my bro!!! 👏🍀Will Robertson join Celtic in the summer?
Celtic have signed Oxlade-Chamberlain on a free transfer. They did the same with Kieran Tierney and Kelechi Iheanacho last summer.
Robertson will also be a free transfer in the summer, so is he next on Celtic’s list?
Of course, Celtic need to sort out their long-term future, regarding a new manager, but perhaps the Liverpool man could reunite with Oxlade-Chamberlain in Glasgow?
That would require Oxlade-Chamberlain to extend his stay beyond this season, that’s if things go well.
But Robertson has been linked with Celtic for some time now, and a recent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur fell through, so there is a chance.
