Josip Juranovic has completed a move to Union Berlin from Celtic as he looks to take "the next step" in his career.
The 27-year-old leaves the Scottish champions, who he joined from Legia Warsaw in August 2021, having made 53 appearances and scored six goals.
Juranovic helped Celtic win last season's Scottish Premiership and League Cup.
"The fulfils my dream of being able to play in one of the best football leagues in the world," the Croat said.
"The Bundesliga is intense and robust, which suits my game. In Berlin, I want to improve even more and take the next step in my career."
Union Berlin are fifth in their division, level on points with fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou said the Croatia right-back would "always be remembered fondly as a player that contributed to a special year" and added he was "really pleased" for Juranovic.
Celtic have already signed Canada right-back Alastair Johnston in the January transfer window.
Another player who has been linked with a move from Celtic is Greece forward Giorgos Giakoumakis.
Like Juranovic, he was left out of the squad for Saturday's Scottish Cup home tie with Greenock Morton and Postecoglou added: "Giakou trained yesterday and he's almost there, but he's got a few things going on in the background, so I just thought I'd give him the the weekend off."
