Premier League Burnley have completed the signing of Celtic full-back Daniel Fox for an undisclosed fee. Fox has only been at Parkhead for six months after his summer arrival from Coventry. Celtic boss Tony Mowbray admitted that he could sell the Scottish international earlier in the week and the Clarets moved quickly to secure his signature.
The 23 year-old impressed in the Championship with Coventry after making a name for himself with Walsall in League One.
