Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is finally in Celtic colours. <\/p>\n

After the January transfer window slammed shut, Celtic<\/a> had one more deal up their sleeve, as they added the experience of Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/a> to their ranks. <\/p>\n

Before Celtic beat Dundee in the Scottish Cup<\/a> on Saturday evening, the club announced their new arrival, and he was introduced onto the Parkhead pitch before kick-off. <\/p>\n

Oxlade-Chamberlain also took to Instagram to express his delight at signing for the champions of Scotland<\/a>, as some familiar faces reacted to his move. <\/p>\n

Oxlade-Chamberlain stated on social media that he \u2018can\u2019t wait\u2019 for the challenge Celtic will provide him in the coming months. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, when Oxlade-Chamberlain posted about his Celtic move on his socials, this is what Declan Rice, Andy Robertson<\/a>, among others, posted in the comments section. <\/p>\n

Oxlade-Chamberlain: \u2018Delighted to be here! Ready to go and can\u2019t wait for the challenge ahead!\u00a0#CelticFC \ud83c\udf40.\u2019<\/p>\n

Declan Rice: What a guy!!!! smash it, brother \u2764\ufe0fPerrie Edwards: Let\u2019s goooooo baby!!!!!!Andy Robertson: \ud83d\udc9a\ud83d\udc9aTheo Walcott: Good luck, my friend \ud83c\udf40\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffdKieran Gibbs: Congrats, my bro!!! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udf40Will Robertson join Celtic in the summer?<\/p>\n

Celtic have signed Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/a> on a free transfer. They did the same with Kieran Tierney and Kelechi Iheanacho last summer.<\/p>\n

Robertson will also be a free transfer<\/a> in the summer, so is he next on Celtic\u2019s list?<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

That would require Oxlade-Chamberlain to extend his stay beyond this season, that\u2019s if things go well.<\/p>\n

But Robertson has been linked with Celtic<\/a> for some time now, and a recent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur fell through, so there is a chance. <\/p>\n
