Celtic have confirmed the signing of Julian Araujo on loan for Bournemouth until the end of the season.
The move is a straight loan without an obligation to buy and will run until the end of the 2025/26 season.
The 24-year-old defender, who has been capped 16 times for Mexico, has also been included in Celtic’s matchday squad for Saturday’s Old Firm clash against Rangers.
Araujo joined Bournemouth in 2024, but after making 12 Premier League appearances in his debut season, he has failed to feature once in the competition this term.
“I am really happy to join Celtic. This is a top club and I can’t wait to get going and work hard with the other players to bring our fans success,” Araujo said on the club’s website.
“I know the demands at a club like Celtic, and I am ready for these. I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and I want to play my part in bringing good times and good, winning football to our supporters.

“I have met the boys already. We have some great players in the squad and we are all ready to tackle the second half of the season and do as much as we can for the fans.”
Under pressure boss Wilfried Nancy also commented on the arrival, adding: “We are delighted to bring Julian to Celtic. He is a really talented player with a good level of experience and we think the qualities he will bring will be really beneficial to the squad.”
