Scottish Premier League outfit Kilmarnock have completed the signing of midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim from Celtic.

The 21-year-old has struggled to hold down a starting place for the Hoops this season, but is expected to play a key role for Kenny Shiels's side.

"He's signed a two-year deal with us. I believe it's quite a coup for Kilmarnock and we are a good fit for him," Shiels told Sky Sports News.

"Rabiu had an offer from a club in Russia but he and his advisers thought it would be better for his career development to stay in Scotland and they were equally as keen as we were for the deal to go through. We signed him on a free transfer. He's away with the Nigeria squad for the African Cup of Nations at the moment.

"I believe January 9 is the deadline for them to name their final squad. I would quite like him to be named in the squad for his confidence. If he is named then as soon as they go out of the competition he will join up with us."

Ibrahim is understood to have rejected loan offers from a number of Scottish clubs.
