Evander Sno has left Celtic to join Dutch giants Ajax.

The 21-year-old has returned to Holland after failing to establish himself at Parkhead during his two seasons in Glasgow.

Sno joined Celtic from Feyenoord, but struggled to hold down a regular place in Gordon Strachan's starting XI.

The defensive midfielder, who represented Holland at the Olympics, has signed a three-year deal at the Amsterdam ArenA.

Sno made 49 appearances for Celtic scoring one goal during his time at Parkhead.

The Dutchman is looking forward to returning to Ajax after coming through the club's famed youth academy.

"I played soccer in the youth team at Ajax," Sno told the club's official website.

Beautiful

"It is beautiful that I am here now. I expect three beautiful years here with good football.

"I know a large part of the team still - Urby Emanuelson and Kenneth Vermeer among others.

"I want a place in the midfield, either in the holding role or trying to move forwards."
