Celtic have announced this afternoon that they have
parted company with Danish midfielder Thomas Gravesen.
The announcement made via the club’s official website brings to
an end the association with the former Everton midfielder and The
SPL champions after signing for them in 2006.
Gravesen will move on with immediate effect and will release
substantial funds for Gordon Strachan to improve the squad.
Gravesen returned from his loan spell with The Toffees last
season and failed to impress Strachan, who said recently: “We tried
our best to get a system which suited Thomas and it hasn't
worked.
"It was the system to blame, not the player or the club."
A statement on the club’s official website said quite simply:
“Celtic, Thomas Gravesen and Thomas's representatives have agreed
that he will part company with the club.
"Thomas wishes Celtic every success and, likewise, the club
wishes Thomas all the very best for the future."
