Hibernian striker Chris Killen has snubbed Cardiff City to join Celtic on a three-year contract.
The 25-year-old New Zealand international moves to Parkhead on a free transfer, with his contract at Easter Road having run out at the end of the season.
Bluebirds chairman Peter Ridsdale snapped: "This move clearly demonstrates that Chris Killen did not feel for the club and I look at this as a lucky escape for this club.
"It's best we know now of the player's commitment than a couple of months after signing him."
Killen is still recovering from a serious Achilles problem that has kept him out of action since January.
He joined Hibs in January 2006 from Oldham Athletic, having started out as a trainee with Manchester City and went on to score 19 goals in 32 appearances for the Easter Road club.
