Kris Commons signs new two-year contract at Celtic

Kris Commons signs a new two-year contract at Celtic, ending speculation over his future.

Celtic have announced that Kris Commons has committed himself to the club by signing a new two-year contract.

The 31-year-old's future at the Scottish side was in doubt following reports that clubs in the Premier League and Championship were interested in the midfielder.

However, the Scotland international, whose previous deal was due to expire in the summer, has ended speculation by agreeing a contract that will run until the summer of 2017.

"I'm absolutely delighted to have signed this new contract with the club," Commons told the club's official website. "I've loved my time at Celtic and this is where I want to continue playing my football.

"The club is in a great place, we're still in four competitions this season, and already have a cup final to look forward to, and I want to continue playing my part in bringing more success to the club.

"I'm also delighted to continue playing in front of these magnificent fans, who have been brilliant with me and my family from the day I joined Celtic."

Commons has scored 74 goals in 175 appearances since joining the club back in January 2011.
