The 24-year-old can play across the back four but has primarily featured as a centre-back in his career to date.
He made just one senior appearance during his time with Celtic, spending most of his time as a Hoops player on loan with KV Oostende of Belgium.
The defender played 21 times during his spell at then-Championship Sheffield Wednesday.
Bristol City and Swansea sit ninth and 12th respectively in the second tier.
Both clubs are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements in this transfer window, which slams shut on 3 February.
