Celtic have confirmed Tony Mowbray as their new manager after a deal was concluded with West Brom.
Mowbray arrives from the club relegated from the Premier League in England along with assistant Mark Venus and first-team coach Peter Grant.
Present Celtic coach Neil Lennon will remain as part of the Scottish Premier League club's management team.
Mowbray, who becomes the 16th manager of Celtic, will speak at a media conference at 1000 BST on Wednesday.
The Glasgow club at the weekend agreed to pay the £2m in compensation demanded by West Brom, with a Celtic source insisting that it would not reduce money available for new players.
West Brom were seeking further compensation for Venus and Grant, while there were question marks about the role of Lennon, who had been previously been given assurances by Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell.
Mowbray had been one of three managers targeted by Celtic, along with Burnley's Owen Coyle and Swansea's Roberto Martinez.
