Celtic pounced late on Deadline Day to sign Jack Hendry and Scott Bain from Dundee.

Hendry joins on a four-and-a-half-year contract, for a fee understood to be a Dundee club record of £1.2m plus add-ons.

"I'm absolutely delighted to have signed for Celtic. Joining the Scottish champions is a brilliant move for me," Hendry told the Hoops' official website.

"I know, from playing against Celtic this season, the quality of players that are at the club and I can't wait to start training with my new team-mates.

"I also know that working with Brendan Rodgers and the rest of the coaching staff here will improve me as a player and I'm looking forward to working hard every day to repay the faith they've shown in signing me.

Scott Bain was in such a hurry to sign for Celtic he was still in his Hibernian kit when he put pen to paper

"I've already experienced playing at Celtic Park as an opposition player, but I can't wait to run out wearing the Celtic jersey and play in front of the Celtic supporters."

Bain - who was on loan at Hibernian from Dundee and arrived in Glasgow still in his kit as he was due to play for Hibs against Motherwell on Wednesday night - comes to Celtic Park on loan until the end of the season.

"This is the biggest club in Scotland and one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I just can't believe that I'm here," he said.

"I phoned my dad earlier today just to say that I was leaving Easter Road and on the road to Glasgow, and he was buzzing and delighted for me.

"I can't believe I was on the bench for Hibs against Celtic last weekend and then, just a few days later, I'm signing for Celtic.

"It's not something that, when I went on loan to Hibs, I thought was ever going to happen, so the past few days have been great, and to get it over the line and be here is absolutely amazing."
