15-7-10: Goalkeeper Artur Boruc has completed his £1.7m move to Fiorentina from Celtic after passing a medical with the Serie A side.
The Polish shot-stopper, who spent five years with the Bhoys after moving from Legia Warsaw in 2005, has signed a two-year deal with the Viola.
Boruc will now join his new team-mates for their pre-season training camp in Cortina d'Ampezzo ahead of the new campaign.
The 30-year-old will compete with French goalkeeper Sebastien Frey for the No.1 spot at the Florence-based outfit.
A statement from the Serie A side read: "Fiorentina announces it has completed the permanent transfer of Artur Boruc after a successful medical from Glasgow Celtic."
The departure of Boruc leaves compatriot Lukasz Zaluska as manager Neil Lennon's first-choice goalkeeper at Celtic.
Lennon is considering a summer swoop for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Lee Grant as a possible replacement for Boruc.
