Sviatchenko joins Midtjylland on loan

Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko has re-joined Midtjylland on loan for the rest of the season.

The Danish international joined the Hoops in 2016 after winning one league title in eight seasons at the club, and has returned to his former team after failing to appear in any league games for Celtic in 2017-18.

Sviatchenko is hoping the move can help boost his chances of making Denmark's squad for the World Cup following the Danes' 5-1 aggregate defeat of the Republic of Ireland in the playoffs.
