Paul Hartley told his club’s official website: “We are really pleased to bring in another quality player in Conor.
“I have spoken with Brendan Rodgers at length and I know just how highly thought of he is at Celtic Park. This is a move that will hopefully benefit all parties as I know that both Conor and Celtic were keen that he went out on loan to gain some valuable first team experience.
“He is extremely enthusiastic about coming here and I look forward to working with him over the next six months.”
