Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas has travelled to Russia as he awaits the final paperwork for his move to FC Volga.
The former Barcelona player is set to join the newly-promoted top-flight Russian side after falling out of favour under Neil Lennon.
Crosas signed for Celtic in 2008 and made 52 appearances, with his one goal a spectacular long-range effort in a 7-0 victory over St Mirren at Parkhead.
The 23-year-old revealed his dilemma in a letter to Celtic fans, which was published on the club's
official website.
He wrote: "Everything here at Celtic is fantastic, but another club is calling me with the possibility to have the minutes that I need.
Love
"My job is to play football, and as much as I love this club, I need to play."
He added: "Being a part of the Celtic family has been great and Celtic will always remain in my heart.
"After my time here I have came to understand why the Celtic supporters are well known all around the world and why this club is so special.
"There will always be a big space for all my fantastic memories here, the good moments when I was playing and even the bad ones.
"Marc Crosas is moving to another place, but a big part of his heart will remain here."
