Celtic midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi has left the club to join Avispa Fukuoka on a year-long loan deal.

The 26-year old moved to the club in January 2021 but failed to make an impact.

Ideguchi made six appearances in the second-half of last season but has failed to play a game this campaign.

He now returns to the J-League and joins the team who finished in 14th place last season.

Oliver Abildgaard left the club late in the January transfer window as his loan deal was cut short.

The Denmark international joined Serie A side Hellas Verona after also struggling to make an impact at Parkhead.

Giogos Giakoumakis is still expected to seal a move to MLS outfit Atlanta United.

Ange Postecoglou revealed on Friday the striker was no longer on his radar as a Celtic player.

He said: "It will get concluded fairly soon.

"To be honest, it's not on my radar any more. I will probably hear it about the same time as you guys.

"Maybe, if you are on Instagram, you will hear about it earlier than me.

"It's not on my radar, I don't expect him back in the group, but it hasn't been finalised yet."
