Josip Juranovic has paid an emotional tribute to Celtic after his departure from the club.

The right-back yesterday sealed his £10million move to Union Berlin.

The Croatian World Cup star has been linked with a whole host of clubs over the last few months.

The like of Chelsea, Barcelona and Roma were all said to have scouted the defender, but it was the Bundesliga side who won the race to sign the 27-year-old.

Despite the arrival of his ultimate replacement Alistair Johnston this month, Juranovic has continued to feature for Ange Postecoglou's men. 

He played in the club's Viaplay Cup semi-final win over Kilmarnock and also came off the bench versus Rangers in the 2-2 derby match on January 2.

Juranovic has already trained with his new teammates in Germany and could well be in line for a quickfire debut on Wednesday night against Werder Bremen.

However, while he moves on to pastures new, the Croat has taken the time to say an emotional goodbye to the Celtic fans.

Sharing several photos from his 18-months at Parkhead, the right-back thanked everyone at the club for his time in Glasgow, which included lifting the title and League Cup.

Juranovic wrote on Instagram: "What can I say…..what a memorable 18 months. My family and I will always remember every part of that journey.

"Thank you for making this a special time for us. Sharing the dressing room with so many amazing teammates in this short period of time was unforgettable experience!

"It was my pleasure working with manager, coaches and staff members. Big thanks to the fans. Each and every one of you made me feel special.

"Fireball will be always close to my heart! Glasgow will always be Green and White! Once a Celtic, always a Celt."
