Scottish teenager Liam Morrison has swapped Celtic for German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

The defender, 16, was part of Neil Lennon's squad that travelled to Austria and Switzerland in pre-season.

However, the Scotland youth international has elected not to sign a professional contract with the champions.

"I'm really looking forward to wearing the jersey of this big club soon," Morrison told the Bayern website. external-link

Jochen Sauer, Bayern's academy coach, said: "Liam had many offers from well-known European clubs.

"We are very glad that he has decided for us. He is a robust, physically strong defender who also brings a lot of quality."
