Celtic defender John Kennedy has signed a new three-year contract with the Bhoys after finally overcoming a career-threatening injury.
The 23-year-old sustained a serious knee injury on his Scotland debut against Romania back in March 2004 and only returned to action in Sunday's title-clinching 2-1 win at Kilmarnock.
Bhoys chief executive Peter Lawwell told the club's official website: "This is tremendous news for the club.
"John has shown a real strength of character to overcome the injury problems which he has faced in recent years.
"His return to the first-team last weekend and his performance were real highlights on what was a memorable day for the club.
"John is most deserving of this new contract and we are delighted he will remain at the club and hopefully play his part in our future success."
