Celtic confirmed the signing on their website, saying that the club was “delighted” to announce that Biton has signed on a four-year deal.
“The talented Israeli internationalist has joined from FC Ashdod, which is also Efe Ambrose´s former club. The 21-year-old also joins up with fellow countryman, Beram Kayal at the home of the Scottish champions.
“He will be looking to play his part in Celtic´s UEFA Champions League group-stage campaign against Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax.”
Biton told the Daily Express on Friday, “The most important thing is I am playing for Celtic. This is all of my dreams – to play for a huge club like Celtic.
“I expect to be at my best and to prove to all of the fans and the people from Celtic that I am a good player and I expect to do well.”
