Brendan Rodgers has added another player to his squad.

The Celtic manager had been linked with a move for Andre Wisdom, the Liverpool defender he gave his debut to in 2012. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/769923794974552065 However, Wisdom - who spent the last three seasons out on-loan away from Anfield - at Derby County, West Brom and Norwich City respectively - is set to join Red Bull Salzburg. The 23-year-old will join the Austrian side on a season-long loan after it was clear he wasn't part of Jurgen Klopp's plans. Rodgers has moved instead to sign Cristian Gamboa from West Brom. The 26-year old right back, who has joined for an undisclosed fee, has signed a three-year deal at Celtic Park. https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/770625525492674560 Gamboa has only made 17 appearances for West Brom since joining the club from Norwegian side Rosenborg in 2014. The right-back was part of the Costa Rica team that reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup two years ago. https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/770632834008621057 The new GAA Hour football podcast is out.
