Tom Rogic and Nir Bitton will leave Celtic this summer.

The club have announced the pair will depart Parkhead after almost a decade of service.

Saturday's match at home to Motherwell will be their final farewell - with the club lifting the Premiership trophy after full-time.

Both players leave with a host of silverware to their names, featuring as part of Celtic's quadruple treble winning side and in Brendan Rodgers' invincible season.

Rogic was nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award this season after an impressive campaign under fellow countryman Ange Postecoglou.

Rogic told the club's official website: “I want to sincerely thank everyone at the club and all our supporters for everything that has been given to me while I have been at Celtic. It has been a phenomenal journey, with some magical moments - it has been an honour to be a part of this experience.

'It has been a privilege to play for the Celtic supporters, the best in football I have ever experienced and the great times I have been part of will stay with me forever.'

“While I am so sad to leave, I feel so proud to be part of a team that has delivered the title again for our fans. The club is in a great position and I know the manager will take the club on and deliver more and more success.”

“Celtic will always be in my heart and part of my life and I wish the club and our fans nothing but success for the future.”

Nir added: “When I came to Celtic I never thought I would be part of such exciting times and it truly has been amazing to be part of such a great club.

“I have worked with some great managers and team-mates and I thank them all for those times and all we achieved together.”

'We have dominated the game here for so long and now this year as champions we have done it again, something us as players and supporters we should all be really proud of.'

“After a season of real hard work, when many never gave us a chance, we are champions again – the whole squad, manager and our staff were determined to deliver this to our fans.

“I want to thank everyone at the club and our fans for the support I have received during my time at Celtic and I wish the club absolute success for the future.”
