Celtic agree to let Agathe leave
Didier Agathe was out of contract in the summer
Agathe is free to find another club
Didier Agathe has secured an early release from his Celtic contract and is now free to find another club.

Agathe moved to Glasgow in 2000 from Hibernian, after previously playing for Raith Rovers and Montpellier in France.

But the 30-year-old wing-back has made just four appearances as a substitute this season.

A Celtic spokesman said: "Didier has been a great servant to Celtic and everyone at the club wishes him all the best for the future."

Agathe was a regular under previous Celtic manager Martin O'Neill and made 181 appearances, scoring 11 goals.

He scored in the Champions League qualifier against Ajax in Amsterdam in August 2001 to help Celtic reach the group stages for the first time.

And Agathe played in the Uefa Cup final defeat by Porto in 2003.

But a groin injury hampered his hopes of impressing Gordon Strachan, who replaced O'Neill in the summer, and on his return to fitness, Agathe could not find a way back into the side.

Middlesbrough had the player on trial last month, while Leeds had asked to take him on loan.
