Timothy Weah has posed with a Celtic shirt alongside his mum and aunt following his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain.
The eight-times capped United States international signed on Monday for the rest of the season and joined his new team-mates at their training camp in Dubai.
Weah, who is the son of former Milan star and current Liberian president George, was put through his paces on the training field on Tuesday and was also pictured holding up a Celtic shirt next to his mum Clar Weah and aunt Nancy Larnor.
The 18-year-old netted twice in six first-team appearances for Ligue 1 side PSG.
Manager Brendan Rodgers said on the club's official website: 'Timothy's a young talent who is full international player. He has a long career ahead of him but he has those natural attributes in terms of his pace and technique. He's hungry too.
'He's been in the PSG squad and featured for them in pre-season. With the quality of players they have, it's difficult for him to get in and get any game-time. They wanted him to go out on loan and saw Celtic as a great possibility.
'He has really good qualities technically, and tactically is always improving his game. Physically he's very good, very fast and is a strong player. He'll add competition to the squad.'
Before the winter break Rodgers' side were beaten by Old Firm rivals Rangers.
Celtic still sit top of the Scottish Premiership with a game in hand over Steven Gerrard's side.
The Hoops return to competitive action on January 19 when they welcome Airdrieonians in the Scottish Cup.
