The 22-year-old, who played at Norman North and in college at Tulsa, had been without a team after spurning interest from Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire. Cervi will not play with the first team for now.

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said Friday the team's goalkeeping coach expects Cervi to be a two-year project. "So don't expect anything,” Strachan said. "If it is quicker than that, then great.”

Cervi's parents are Italian, meaning he should be able to play in Europe without needing a work permit.
