CRAIG GORDON has put pen to paper on an extension to his Celtic contract and is now committed to the club for another three years.
The keeper moved to Parkhead last summer and was a stand-out performer for the Hoops as they lifted the Premiership title and League Cup.
He has now agreed terms on a new deal that will keep him with Ronny Deila's side until the summer of 2018.
Gordon told the club's official website: “I am absolutely delighted to extend my contract with Celtic, such a fantastic football club. I have enjoyed my first year immensely at Celtic.
“It has been great to enjoy success already and I'm looking forward to giving everything to bring more good times to our supporters who have given me such a tremendous welcome to the Club.”
The keeper's fine form between the sticks for Celtic saw him earn a recall to Gordon Strachan's Scotland squad earlier this year.
Gordon is set to play a key part for club and country in the coming months and boss Deila is delighted to have his number one tied down long-term.
He said: "This is brilliant news and we're all delighted that Craig has extended his contract at the club.
"He was my first signing as Celtic manager and since he joined us last summer, he has been an important member of the squad and he's made a great contribution to our success.
"Craig's a top-class goalkeeper and we're lucky to have him here at Celtic."
