The transfer of Nadir Ciftci from Dundee United to Celtic has been completed.
The 23-year-old has signed a four-year deal with Ronny Deila’s side after the Scottish champions reached agreement with Dundee United.
Celtic had previous bids for the controversial forward rejected but United accepted an offer of £1.5 million on Monday, allowing the player to discuss personal terms and successfully complete a medical.
Ciftci had one year left on his contract at Tannadice and had informed United that he would not be signing an extension.

The Tannadice club would have rather not sold a third player to Celtic, but Ciftci had his heart set on a move to Parkhead.
Wigan Athletic had previously had a bid accepted but the player rejected that switch.
The fact that the deal has gone through this week will enable Ciftci to play for Celtic in their Champions League qualifier against Stjarnan next week and in any subsequent rounds.
However, he could be on the verge of a domestic ban after being charged with violent conduct following the final Dundee derby of last season.
He has been called to a disciplinary hearing on July 20 by the SFA to face an allegation of biting Jim McAlister.
