"Brendan has made a huge impact at Celtic already," the club's chief executive, Peter Lawwell, said in a statement on Friday.

"He's an outstanding manager and we believe he is one of the best coaches in Europe, if not world football, and we're delighted that he has committed his future to Celtic."

Celtic, who have already won the League Cup and are unbeaten in 38 league games this season, are in the hunt for a domestic treble. They face old foes Rangers in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup on April 23.
