# Celtic: Fans react to Josip Juranovic confirmation

**Celtic [confirmed](https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/1429041959608389636?s=21) the signing of right-back Josip Juranovic from Legia Warsaw on Saturday, subject to international clearance.**

As to be expected, a number of Hoops supporters went wild on social media following the announcement.

Juranovic, who can also play as a [centre-back and a right midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/profil/spieler/362977), is the club’s [eighth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) signing of the summer, and the move has reportedly cost Celtic [£2.7m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371).

You’d expect that the 26-year-old will come in and rival Anthony Ralston at right-back, although all [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) of his starts this season for his previous club had come as a right midfielder.

Juranovic, who [scored](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) on his final appearance for Legia Warsaw in a Europa League qualifier, looks set to bring plenty of versatility to Ange Postecoglou’s squad, and a number of supporters were delighted that a [five-year deal](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/august/Celtic-reach-agreement-to-sign-Josip-Juranovic/) is now confirmed.

**“Incredible value for money for a Croatian international who has featured in the latest Euros. A 5-year deal is good business too. Gives him a large amount of time to shift the Bellshill Bergomi out of the team”**

**“Brilliant singing for good money too. Hope Ralston isn’t dropped for him, wait until Tony doesn’t play well as he’s doing fantastic at the minute.”**
