The 28-year-old French Guiana-born striker joins for an undisclosed fee, reportedly in the region of £3.8million.

Fortune is Tony Mowbray's first signing since he became Celtic manager, with the pair reunited after the forward spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom.

Fortune passed a medical on Tuesday before completing the formalities of his deal on Wednesday.

The Frenchman told his new club's website: "This is where I want to be. Having met the people at the club and knowing all about the club's fantastic pedigree and support, this is where I saw my future.

"I am looking forward to the challenge of winning the league title, competing for the cups and playing in Europe, in front of the Celtic supporters.

"I am also looking forward to working with my manager, Tony Mowbray, once again.

"I had a great experience with him, Mark Venus and Peter Grant in the Premier League last season and I am looking forward to now working with him at one of Europe's biggest football clubs."

Mowbray was equally delighted to be resuming the pair's relationship.

He said: "Marc is a quality player and, at West Brom, he was a privilege to work with. Some of his play in the second half of the season was phenomenal and, if you look at our goals ratio as a team after he joined, you can see the impact he made."
