Celtic transfer news LIVE: Hoops business complete as Giorgos Giakoumakis waits on US work visa before sealing MLS switch

Welcome to today’s Deadline Day live blog, where we’ll be keeping a close eye on Celtic, with potential departures in the pipeline.

Could there be a late flurry of transfer activity at Celtic Park today?

We’re heading into the final few hours of the window and there are several last-minute deals expected to be finalised. The Parkhead club will almost certainly see more outings than incomings, with Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis is poised to complete a permanent transfer to Atlanta United, although the move doesn’t have to be sealed today due to the MLS having a later deadline.

Fringe player Oliver Abildgaard has agreed move to Italy, while centre-back Stephen Welsh is expected to remain in Glasgow amid English loan interest. The likes of Yosuke Ideguchi and James McCarthy could also depart.
