Celtic have appointed former West Brom technical director Nick Hammond to help with their summer transfers.
The ex-Aberdeen goalkeeper will initially work across the summer period when he joins up with the club on July 1.
He'll be tasked with finding new players for Hoops boss Neil Lennon as he looks to rebuild his squad after the treble Treble winning campaign.
Hammond previously worked with Reading and West Brom in similar positions.
At Reading, he was director of football while Brendan Rodgers was at the club and he also played for the club while Tommy Burns was manager in the 90s.
Celtic have been on the lookout for a recruitment expert since Lee Congerton left the club to join Brendan Rodgers at Leicester.
A statement on the Celtic website read: "Celtic Football Club announced today that Nick Hammond will be joining Celtic on July 1 to work with the Club, initially across the summer period.
"Nick is highly regarded across football having held director of football and technical director positions at Reading FC and West Bromwich Albion FC respectively.
"Nick's knowledge, expertise and experience will be invaluable as he assists in the club’s recruitment across the forthcoming period.
"The club has known Nick for some time and we are delighted that he is joining Celtic."
