Fortune: I'll shoot Hoops to the top
The 28-year-old French Guiana-born striker became Tony Mowbray's first signing as Hoops boss when he completed a move from Nancy worth a reported £3.8million.
He now has his sights set on silverware as Celtic attempt to wrest the title back from bitter rivals Rangers, who triumphed with a domestic double at the end of last season.
"I know Celtic are a club who have been champions and I have come here to be a champion," said Fortune.
"I've tried to learn about Celtic and have looked at their website. When I come to a club, I try to learn about it.
"It's my job as a striker to score goals and I want to score here. I want to play good football and make the fans happy."
Fortune is also determined to feature in the Champions League next season by helping Celtic come through a potentially hazardous qualification process.
"I've come here for that," he said. "I don't know who we are going to play but I would like the team to qualify for the Champions League."
Fortune played under Mowbray while on loan at West Brom in the second half of last season.
And, having seen him in action in the Barclays Premier League, the Celtic boss is convinced his new recruit will deliver plenty of goals in the SPL.
"As a centre forward your job is to try to give the team a cutting edge," said Mowbray.
"I think Marc does that and he also helps the attacking midfield players. He definitely did that at West Brom and he can do that here at Celtic.
"He has the ability to hold the ball up and his appreciation of runs around him and past him is very good.
"He is an experienced footballer now and I'm sure he will score goals and help create more opportunities for other players also.
"I'm not saying he's not going to score goals, it's his job to score goals.
"All strikers go through spells where they don't score goals and what the supporters of this club want to see is someone in a hooped shirt working very hard for the team and working for the team to be successful and not just for the individual to score goals.
"I'm sure they will all see that about his performance and his play. But I'm very confident Marc will score goals, as well as working hard for the team and contributing to other players scoring."
