Celtic have confirmed Olivier Kapo has left the club after just three months.

The Frenchman joined the Glasgow giants in November and made just two appearances for the Hoops.

Celtic say they took an option to terminate the former Birmingham and Wigan midfielder`s contract this month.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon told the club`s official website: "These are the facts. Olivier Kapo signed a contract with the club which allowed us to terminate on January 10, 2011.

"Celtic took this option to terminate as we felt he had not done enough to justify a longer-term contract.

"We were willing to look at an extension to this short term contract with Olivier. However, he was not willing to accept these terms.

"Clearly, everyone at the club wishes Olivier well for the future."
