# Celtic: Josip Juranovic flies in for medical

**Legia Warsaw’s Josip Juranovic flew into Scotland on Friday to undergo a Celtic medical, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-juranovic-jets-in-for-celtic-medical-today-after-bid-accepted/).**

### The Lowdown: Juranovic’s Thursday farewell

The Hoops agreed to a £2.5m fee with Warsaw for the 26-year-old on Tuesday, as reported by [Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas](https://twitter.com/SkySportsLyall/status/1427696715612704772).

Juranovic featured for his current employers, likely for the final time, on Thursday in a Europa League qualifier with Slavia Prague.

The [Croatia international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977), who has been a [regular](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/362977) since joining last summer, made his [seventh](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) start of the campaign as a right-midfielder and scored a [screamer](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/josip-juranovic-celtic-target-scores-screamer-on-farewell-appearance-for-legia-warsaw-in-europa-league-3353237) on his farewell appearance in a 2-2 draw.

### The Latest: Source shares update

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-juranovic-jets-in-for-celtic-medical-today-after-bid-accepted/) shared a story on Friday morning regarding Juranovic’s pending Hoops switch.

They were informed by a Celtic source and claimed that Juranovic was in Glasgow on Friday to undergo a medical and to put pen to paper on his contract.

Personal terms have already been agreed upon, with a Parkhead contract expected to run for [four years](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/josip-juranovic-set-arrive-celtic-24798972).

### The Verdict: Perfect

It seems as if it is now only a matter of time until Dominic McKay gets his man in Juranovic, which is great news for the CEO and Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou [wanted](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9850293/Celtic-considering-former-Crystal-Palace-midfielder-James-McCarthy.html) a new right-back and a winger before the end of the month, and his new addition has experience of playing in [both](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) of those areas.

The Celtic boss has relied on [Anthony Ralston](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-ralston/leistungsdaten/spieler/388171) at right-back so far this season, who has [impressed](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic) in green and white, so perhaps the Celtic boss will look to use Juranovic as a right-midfielder to start with, keeping faith in the Scot at the back in the process.
