"I'm passionate about my football, regardless of who I play for, and hopefully that commitment will endear me to the Celtic faithful, I'm absolutely thrilled and honoured to join Celtic, It's a fantastic opportunity for me at this age.There is the opportunity to win silverware here at Celtic Park. In eight-and-a-half years at Hearts, I got the opportunity to do that only once and it was a fantastic feeling."

Pressley also admitted the opportunity to play Champions League football had influenced his decision. "It was a big draw," he said. "Obviously, as I played for Hearts in the qualifying rounds, I'm unable to play any part this season, Hopefully there will be the opportunity next year."
