Celtic have confirmed that forward Nadir Ciftci will leave the club at the end of June.

Ciftci joined Celtic from Dundee United in 2015, but has only scored four times in 26 appearances for the Hoops.

The 26-year-old has recently spent time on loan in Turkey and Poland, while he represented both Plymouth Argyle and Motherwell during the 2017-18 campaign.

The former Turkey Under-19 international was contracted to Celtic until the end of next season, but the Scottish champions have decided to release him a year early.

"Celtic football club can confirm that Nadir Ciftci will be leaving the club on June 30, 2018," read a statement from Celtic. "Currently on loan to Motherwell, everyone at Celtic wishes Nadir all the very best for the future."

Ciftci has not turned out for Celtic since February 2017.
