Celtic have completed the signing of 28-year-old striker Marc-Antoine Fortune from French side Nancy on a three-year contract.

Fortune, who spent part of last season on loan at West Brom when Tony Mowbray was in charge, told the club website: "This is where I want to be. Having met the people at the club and knowing all about the club’s fantastic pedigree and support, this is where I saw my future.

"I am looking forward to the challenge of winning the league title, competing for the cups and playing in Europe, in front of the Celtic supporters. I am also looking forward to working with my manager, Tony Mowbray once again."

Mowbray said: "Marc is a quality player and at West Brom he was a privilege to work with. Some of his play in the second half of the season was phenomenal and, if you look at our goals ratio as a team after he joined, you can see the impact he made.

"He is a team player, we were delighted with the way he performed in the Premiership and are looking forward to working with him at Celtic."
