Celtic have agreed a five-year kit sponsorship deal with adidas, which is believed to be the biggest ever in Scottish sport.

The club's current contract with New Balance expires at the end of the season, with adidas taking over on July 1.

The deal will be a huge financial boost for Celtic, who are 13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The sportswear giants already have partnerships with Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus.

"We are delighted to enter this new, long-term partnership with adidas, one of the world's leading sports brands," said Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell.

"We warmly welcome adidas to the Celtic family and look forward to an exciting and successful partnership.

"We know through our discussions with adidas that they, as a prestige brand, were eager to be associated with a club of Celtic's stature and proud history - to be connected to the passion and commitment of our supporters and to Celtic's wider vision and values.
