CELTIC midfielder Beram Kayal has agreed terms on a two and a half year deal with Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Championship.

The deal will be confirmed following a medical, which is due to take place tomorrow.

The 26-year-old impressed in his first few months when he moved to Celtic Park five years ago but has failed to perform since signing a new contract, with his time disrupted by a lack of form and injuries.

Last year he attempted to blame Rangers captain Lee McCulloch for his poor performances after being injured by a tackle in a Glasgow derby in 2011.

This season Kayal has found himself way down the pecking order for a place in the Hoops midfield, with fellow Israeli Nir Bitton the preferred option alongside Scott Brown.
