Celtic defender Liam Scales has joined Aberdeen on a season-long loan deal.
The 23-year old moved to Parkhead from Shamrock Rovers last summer and made 13 appearances under Ange Postecoglou.
Scales has now been allowed to head out on loan with Dons manager Jim Goodwin snapping him up.
Goodwin says he has been a long time admirer of Scales.
Manager Jim Goodwin told the club's official webiste: “Liam is a player that I have been trying to get for the last couple of years.
“I watched him very closely during his time at Shamrock Rovers, unfortunately I couldn’t get a deal done.
“Liam is 23-years-old and has already amassed nearly 200 appearances in senior football. He’s a strong character with a winning mentality, who will no doubt be a great addition to the squad.
“He is coming in as a left sided centre half, which is the position I saw him play regularly for Shamrock Rovers, and the one we believe is his best position.
“He is aggressive, mobile, very comfortable on the ball and he has all the qualities you would want in a modern-day centre back.”
