Celtic have confirmed the appointment of Ronny Deila as the club's new manager following the resignation of Neil Lennon last month.
The 38-year-old has signed a 12-month rolling contract at Parkhead after guiding Norwegian side Stromsgodset to title glory.
Deila emerged as the leading candidate for the position after former Manchester United captain Roy Keane rejected the chance to return to Celtic following initial talks with the club's hierarchy.
Deila told the club's official website: "It is a magnificent honour to be named the new manager of Celtic - one of the world's great football clubs and a club I have such enormous respect for. I will treasure this opportunity and will give everything I have to achieve success for Celtic and our wonderful fans.
"I know what I want for Celtic and our supporters and that is the best of everything, it is what our fans deserve. I want to deliver the best attacking, exciting and entertaining football we can play, for the players to give their best every time they take to the field of and, of course, I want my players to work with me to achieve the best results possible and bring trophies to Celtic.
"Celtic is in great shape and the club has enjoyed real success in recent years due to the hard work of Neil and his team. I want to carry on this work and continue to bring happy times to Celtic. I can't wait to get started on this journey."
Deila will enter the hotseat after Lennon opted to end his four-year association with the club after guiding the team to three league titles and two Scottish Cups.
