Celtic have secured a long-term shirt sponsorship deal with betting and gaming company Dafabet.

On the pitch, the club closed on a fifth successive Scottish Premiership title on Sunday with a 3-1 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle.

Activities away from the pitch appear to be in good shape with the club unveiling a four-year agreement for a new main sponsor.

The Dafabet name will be featured on the front of the club's shirts from the beginning of season 2016/17.
