Colchester United have snapped up Celtic defender Adam Virgo on a six-month loan deal.
The 24-year-old former Brighton full-back joined the Scottish champions for £1.5million in July 2005, but has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place at Parkhead.
Virgo - who has started just four games for Celtic - was loaned to the U's Championship rivals Coventry City last year, but saw his season-long stay hampered by injury.
The Brighton-born player had also been interesting SPL side Motherwell before opting to join the Essex club.
