Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko has re-joined his former side FC Midtylland on loan until the end of the season.
As reported by the Evening Times, the two clubs agreed a £200k loan fee as well as an optional future fee of roughly £1.3 million.
Sviatchenko had fallen out of favour at Celtic under Brendan Rodgers and has not featured in the Scottish Premiership this season.
The Dane has only featured in the club’s two Champions League games earlier this season.
The defender is keen to make a move in January with one eye on earning a place in the Denmark squad for this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
Several clubs had expressed an interest in the player with Copenhagen also keen on signing the defender.
Celtic have signed RB Leipzig defender Marvin Compper in January, as well as being linked with a move for Arsenal youngster, Krystian Bielik, meaning Sviatchenko would have had yet more competition in his way at Parkhead.
