Norway international Berget goes straight into the
Hoops squad which travels to Poland on Tuesday morning for the first leg
of their Champions League third qualifier against Legia Warsaw. Forward Berget - who comes with an option to buy for the Scottish club - was confirmed as Ronny Deila's second signing of the summer as Watt signed a five-year contract with Standard Liege. Berget told the official Celtic website: "I am delighted to join Celtic and I'm looking to make the very best of this great opportunity.
"I know what a magnificent club Celtic is and what the club means to the supporters - it is a real privilege to be here."I also know the manager very well and I am delighted to be teaming up with him again and, of course, the great squad of players at the club."
Deila added: "I'm really pleased that we have been able to add Jo to our squad. I know his qualities and I am sure he can add something new to the team.
"He is a player who will work hard and give everything to the team. I hope he can enjoy a successful time at Celtic." The
23-year-old attacker joined Cardiff in January from Molde. He also
spent a season on loan at Deila's former club Stromsgodset, between
2010-11, during a three-year spell with Italian side Udinese.
Watt,
who scored eight goals in 35 appearances for Celtic, including a famous
winner against Barcelona in the Champions League, had a nine-month loan
spell at Belgian side Lierse last season.
