Celtic have announced the arrival of former Liverpool defender Kolo Toure on a one-year deal.
The 35-year-old will be reunited with ex-Reds boss Brendan Rodgers at Celtic Park after being released by Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season.
"I brought Kolo into Liverpool to add that bit of experience and help to the centre-halves there at the time," Rodgers said. "You saw from his impact there and in particular last season, he was a very important player for Jurgen Klopp towards the end of last season, playing in the Europa League final.
"He was outstanding in the big games for me when I was there. He looks after himself, he's a wonderful professional and he has good experience.
"With a lot of young players in our squad, he can really help them and he can be of great assistance for the likes of Scott Brown, who is a wonderful leader. But he needs support and help around him as well. It will be nice for Scotty to have someone behind him who has that real big-game experience. Kolo can do very well for us."
Prior to his time at Liverpool, Toure had stints at Manchester City and Arsenal and also has 118 caps for the Ivory Coast national side.
