Scottish club Celtic have completed the signing of Ivorian free agent Kolo Toure.
The 35-year-old has been in Glasgow over the weekend to finalise the deal and watched on from the stands as his new team-mates lost on penalties against Leicester City in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.
“I brought Kolo into Liverpool to add that bit of experience and help to the centre-halves there at the time,” Rodgers’ told Celtic’s official website.
“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 [club captain] 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.”
