Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic in emotional Celtic farewell as duo predict decade of dominance ain't stopping

Tom Rogic and Nir Bitton issued a heartfelt thanks to Celtic after announcing they will leave after almost two decades of combined trophy-laden service.

The Parkhead club announced the duo are set to depart after Saturday’s Scottish Premiership trophy day against Motherwell.

Rogic and Bitton have played their part in a staggering 34 major silverware successes since they both arrived at the Hoops in 2013.

Aussie Rogic scored the last-gasp winning goal in the 2017 Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen to complete an astonishing Invincible Treble.

And the 29-year-old told the club website: “I want to sincerely thank everyone at the club and all our supporters for everything that has been given to me while I have been at Celtic.

“It has been a phenomenal journey, with some magical moments - it has been an honour to be a part of this experience.

“It has been a privilege to play for the Celtic supporters, the best in football I have ever experienced and the great times I have been part of will stay with me forever.”

“While I am so sad to leave, I feel so proud to be part of a team that has delivered the title again for our fans. The club is in a great position and I know the manager will take the club on and deliver more and more success.”

“Celtic will always be in my heart and part of my life and I wish the club and our fans nothing but success for the future.”

Bitton was signed by Neil Lennon for a fee of around just £700,000 and has proved huge value for that modest transfer outlay.

The Israeli said: “When I came to Celtic I never thought I would be part of such exciting times and it truly has been amazing to be part of such a great club.

“I have worked with some managers and team-mates and I thank them all for those
