Scottish champions Celtic have completed the signing of free agent Craig Gordon on a two-year deal, it was confirmed on Thursday.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper has been without a club since being released by Premier League club Sunderland in May 2012.
A serious knee injury means Gordon has not played a competitive match since April of that year, although he did spend time training with Celtic s fierce rivals Rangers last season.
Gordon, capped 40 times by Scotland, will remain at Celtic until 2016, with the club having the option of a further 12 months.
Celtic have signed goalkeeper Craig Gordon on a two-year contract with the club having the option of a third year, read a statement on the club s official website.
The 31-year-old keeper, who formerly played with Hearts and Sunderland and who has 40 Scotland caps, will immediately jet out to Austria to join Ronny Deila and his new Celtic team-mates at their pre-season base.
Gordon began his career with Hearts, before Sunderland paid £9million for his services in August 2007 a then British record fee for a goalkeeper.
