Erik Sviatchenko has penned an emotional farewell to Celtic.

Last night it was announced that his loan move to FC Midtylland had been made permanent.

Sviatchenko made a big mark on the Celtic support through social media with the relationship clearly two way as his letter highlighted.

Ronny Deila signed the defender during his last transfer window with Sviatchenko’s impact during the second half of the 2015/16 one of the few redeeming features of that campaign.

Brendan Rodgers initially picked the Dane in central defence but from January 2017 he was left to compete with Jozo Simunovic for a place alongside Dedryck Boyata.

At the club AGM in November 2017 Rodgers voiced his concerns about the injuries suffered by his central defenders with Jack Hendry and Kris Ajer moving ahead of Sviatchenko before his return to Denmark.

It is believed that Celtic picked up a fee of around for the 26-year-old.
