Jeffrey Schlupp Joins Celtic on Loan to Boost Squad Depth
Big news coming out of Celtic Park—Jeffrey Schlupp has officially joined Celtic on loan from Crystal Palace for the rest of the season! The 32-year-old Ghanaian international, who has been a key figure in the Premier League for years, is set to bring his versatility, experience, and energy to Brendan Rodgers’ squad.
Schlupp, a Premier League winner with Leicester City in 2016, has been with Crystal Palace since 2017 but found himself primarily coming off the bench this season. With his contract at Selhurst Park expiring in the summer, this move could be a fresh start for him and a huge boost for Celtic as they push for more success in the Scottish Premiership and beyond.

Rodgers himself had high praise for Schlupp, calling him a "fantastic guy" with "high-level experience, power, pace, and versatility." That last part is key—Schlupp has played as a left-back, winger, midfielder, and even up front throughout his career. That kind of flexibility could be invaluable as Celtic chase domestic glory and continue their European campaign.
Schlupp is also excited about the move, acknowledging the team’s strong performances this season and expressing his eagerness to contribute. "The team has already done brilliantly this season, both domestically and in Europe," he said. "I want to add to this, play my own part, and help us achieve even more."
Financially, reports suggest Celtic will cover half of Schlupp’s £60,000-per-week wage while he’s in Glasgow. There’s no option to buy at the end of the loan, but with his contract expiring in the summer, there’s always a chance Celtic could snap him up on a free transfer if things go well.
Schlupp could make his debut as early as tonight against Dundee, and if Celtic secures a win, they’ll move 13 points clear of Rangers at the top of the table. It’s an exciting time for Celtic fans, and Schlupp’s arrival only adds to the momentum. Let’s see what he brings to the Hoops!
