Celtic have lost a few attacking players in the transfer window, with Gary Hooper leaving for Norwich City, Victor Wanyama heading to Southampton and Daryl Murphy joining Championship side Ipswich Town.
In Boerrigter the Hoops will be gaining a versatile player who can operate on both flanks, and who spent two years with Eredivisie winners Ajax.
