Celtic have completed the loan signing of John Guidetti from Manchester City.
Guidetti, 22, will spend the season at Celtic Park after the Scottish Football Association successfully appealed to FIFA to ratify the transfer despite world football's governing body ruling that the paperwork for the deal had not be completed before the end of Monday's transfer window.
