Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli has sealed a loan move to FC Ufa

The 26-year-old is moving to Russian Premier League until the end of the season following a turbulent spell in Glasgow.

Bolingoli was deemed surplus to requirements by Ange Postecoglou and hasn't featured for the club since their win away to Motherwell in October.

The Belgian defender spent some of last season on loan in Turkey after being disciplined for breaching Covid-19 quarantine guidelines in unsanctioned trip to Spain.

On his return he found himself behind Josip Juranovic, Greg Taylor and Liam Scales in the pecking order at Parkhead.

The full-back, who is cousins with Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, made a total of 30 appearances in his time at Celtic.
