Celtic have confirmed the appointments of Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham to Martin O'Neill's backroom staff after protracted negotiations.
The club were initially a distance apart from an agreement with the pair despite both playing a key role in delivering a league and cup double triumph last season.
However, the situation progressed last week after talks between Maloney and principal shareholder Dermot Desmond.
The details have now been thrashed out just in time for the start of pre-season work at Lennoxtown later today.
Stephen McManus is also confirmed to be continuing at the club as part of the coaching set-up.
