Celtic striker Stefan Scepovic joins Getafe on loan

Scepovic joined Celtic for £2.3m

Stefan Scepovic has left Celtic to join the Spanish La Liga club Getafe on a season-long loan deal.

The 25-year-old Serbia striker arrived at Celtic from Sporting Gijon on deadline day last August.

But he has failed to become a first-team regular, making only one substitute appearance this season.

And the arrival this summer of Nadir Ciftci from Dundee United was a further indication that the £2.3m signing's future may lie elsewhere.

Scepovic has made 26 appearances for Celtic and scored six times.
