Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has joined English Championship side Bournemouth.
The Scotland international's contract with the Parkhead side was due to expire at the end of the year with the south coast club sealing a cut-price deal.
It is believed he will move for a fee in the region of £1.5million
The 26-year old scored 41 times in 150 appearances after joining the Hoops from Inverness in 2015.
Christie was a key player for Celtic in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons when they secured trebles.
Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake told afcb.co.uk: âWe are delighted to have secured the services of Ryan.
âHe was being courted by a number of Premier League clubs, so it is a huge coup to have signed him.
âWe think it speaks volumes about him as a player and us as a club that he chose to come here and work under Scott Parker and his staff.
âRyan enjoyed a hugely successful stay at Celtic and was instrumental in them winning a host of trophies.
âHis outstanding form at club level saw him gain international recognition with Scotland. He has already achieved a great deal in his career and is determined to achieve more.â
