Ben Hutchinson has spoken of his delight at signing a pre-contract agreement with Celtic.

The Scottish champions confirmed the deal on Monday, with the 20-year-old set to join the club from Middlesbrough on a three-year contract.

Celtic swooped for Hutchinson after Middlesbrough failed to agree a new deal with the 20-year-old.

Tremendous

Hutchinson told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to sign for Celtic and I'm really looking forward to joining a club of their stature.

"I know they're a massive club and it will be a tremendous experience to play in front of 60,000 fans.

"I will be doing all I can to, and working as hard as possible, to bring more success to the club."

Manager Gordon Strachan added: "We're very pleased to have signed Ben and will welcome him to the club in the summer.

"We hope he enjoys his time here and proves to be a great success."
