Celtic sign teenager Connell from Bolton

Celtic have completed the signing promising midfielder Luca Connell from embattled Bolton Wanderers on a four-year deal.

The 18-year-old becomes Neil Lennon's second acquisition since the end of the season following the arrival of French defender Christopher Jullien from Toulouse.

Connell turned heads after breaking into Bolton's first team in January and won a call-up to Mick McCarthy's Republic of Ireland squad in May, only to be forced out through a thigh injury.
