Nir Bitton has dubbed Celtic as "the biggest club in Scotland" as he penned an emotional farewell. The Israeli midfielder left Parkhead this summer to join Maccabi Tel Aviv after a successful nine year stay in the east end of Glasgow.
Bitton made 270 appearances for Celtic and proved a popular figure with the Hoops support. And he came off the bench for trophy day as Celtic beat Motherwell on the final day of the season to collect his 18th winners medal since joining the club back in 2013.
He had been linked with a move to several clubs across Europe as he left the Scottish Premiership champions. But he instead opted to join his boyhood club back in his homeland with his wife due to have another baby.
