Celtic have snapped up Manchester United defender Lee O'Connor.

O'Connor joins on a four-year deal.

He told Celtic's website: It feels surreal at the moment but I'm just looking forward to getting the international break over with and then starting with Celtic.

I found out last weekend about Celtic's interest, and it went from there. Today was a bit hectic but I'm just glad to get it through before the window shuts.

The Irish squad met up this morning and I spoke to the manager, Stephen Kenny, and he was fine about me coming here today. I'll meet up them again tomorrow for training.

I'm a versatile player. I can play anywhere across the back four or midfield if needed. I'd say that I'm a wholehearted defender. I love defending and tackling, but I like to get forward as well. First and foremost, though, I am a defender."
