Leigh Griffiths has put questions about his future to bed by signing a one-year contract extension at Celtic.
The striker's previous contract expired this summer and his plans looked to be up in the air with the arrival of Ange Postecoglou at Parkhead.
The Australian boss revealed last week he had held talks with Griffiths over a potential new deal - with the club announcing he has now agreed to an extension.
He joined the club in January 2014 and has gone on to score 123 goals in 261 appearances.
Griffiths told the official club website: "I am delighted to extend my time at the Club. Celtic is a club I love and want to do all I can to play my part again in bringing success to our supporters.
"I'm looking forward to the season ahead and working with the new gaffer and the rest of the lads. It is an exciting time for the Club and I wanted to be part of the Club’s future. I'll be doing everything I can to help us get back to where we all want to be."
New manager Ange Postecoglou told the club's official website: “I am really pleased to keep Leigh with us for another season at least. I have had very positive conversations with Leigh and he clearly understands my expectations and more importantly the club’s.
“Leigh has already proven himself as one of the top strikers in Scotland and I look forward to working with him so that we can bring success to Celtic Football Club."
