Boerrigter’s current deal expired in the summer. He’s been absent from the Celtic first team since the beginning of last season.

His initial signing from Ajax appeared quite a coup as he’s largely impressed with the Dutch side. However, the one caveat was his injury issues, and so this proved the case as he struggled to get a run of games in the side before breaking down.

Celtic spent this entire season trying to off-load their dud signing and finally seem to have brokered a deal.

Across his entire Celtic career, Boerrigter amounted 25 appearances, eight starts and one solitary goal - a last minute strike against Aberdeen that put Celtic 2-1 ahead in a match they’d win 3-1. His last ever league appearance came in a victory over St Johnstone. Boerrigter won his side a penalty but was later handed a two-match ban for diving.
