As the January transfer window drew to a close, Celtic secured the signing just in time for the critical matches ahead. The Hoops are prepared to pay a substantial portion of Schlupp’s wages, reflecting their commitment to strengthening the squad while maintaining a competitive edge in both the domestic league and European competitions.
