Celtic captain Callum McGregor has signed a new deal with the club until 2026.
The skipper has in the last been linked with English Premier League sides but the Parkhead club had the years on their side with his existing contract running until 2024 and gave him the armband after Scott Brown's departure.
Last week manager Ange Postecoglou revealed he was in line to be offered fresh terms to secure the main midfielder and skipper's future.
Scotland star McGregor has signed a new five-year deal and if he sees out the entirety of his bumper new offer he'll remain at the club until he turns 33.
"I’m absolutely delighted," McGregor told Celtic TV. "It’s a proud moment again to extend my stay at the club.
"The club’s very close to my heart. I’ve been here for a number of years now, I’m happy here, I love my football and representing this club, and I want to stay here for as long as I can.
"This is a new chapter and I’m desperate to see the five years out and if I’ve done that, then that means it’s been a pretty successful time again.
"That’s the new motivation for me personally, to make sure this club wins silverware and get it back to that successful place where we were two, three, four seasons ago."
Postecoglou said: "It’s brilliant news for the club. Obviously it was an important year for Cal stepping up to be the new captain and he’s already shown outstanding qualities.
"He espouses the values that I’m after. He understands what we’re trying to build and, on and off the field, he’s not just talking about it, he’s living it and he’s showing the behaviour that I want leaders to show, and as I said, he’s just taken his first steps but I think that it’s exciting with what’s ahead."
