Zheng Zhi has left Celtic for Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande in a deal believed to be worth $736,000.
The midfielder joined Celtic on the final day of the August transfer window last year and made a surprise and impressive debut at Ibrox where he was subjected to a fearsome attack from Kyle Lafferty.
Despite that early impact he failed to impress or establish himself in Tony Mowbray’s plans- starting just nine SPL matches.
Zhi scored his only Celtic goal in his final appearance for the club, turning sharply to net in the 2-1 win away to Hearts on May 9.
Guangzhou Evergrande clearly have some money to spend and have also signed Brazilian striker Muriqui in a $3.5m deal from Athletico Mineiro

He was a free agent?
One more example of our “mysterious ” signing policy…weird…to say the least.
Surprised at this, I quite liked the look of him as a player.
