Thomas Gravesen moves to Celtic.

Celtic have completed the signing of Thomas Gravesen from Real Madrid on a three-year contract.

The 30-year-old Denmark midfielder flew to Glasgow on Monday for talks and a medical before returning to the national team camp last night without signing a contract as reports emerged there were concerns about an old knee injury.

However, the Bank of Scotland Premier League champions and CIS Insurance Cup winners have now announced the former Everton player has joined them after they sold Stilian Petrov to Aston Villa.

Gravesen said: "I am delighted to have joined Celtic, one of the biggest clubs in the world."

Players in scrap won't face discipline from team

Real Madrid Danish player Thomas Gravesen (left) and Brazilian teammate Robinho fight during a team training session in Irdning, Austria, on Tuesday. Real's Italian coach Fabio Capello sent both players from the pitch because of the incident.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello will not discipline Thomas Gravesen and Robinho despite their fist fight at the team's training camp.

The fight took place Tuesday after Gravesen had committed three fouls against the Brazil striker, various Austrian newspapers said.

The players were sent off by Capello.

"I played the role of a referee, showed a red card to both,'' Capello said yesterday on the team's website. "It's nothing important.

"Today they were back to training like always.''

According to a statement on the site, the staff at the Spanish club was expected to decide over the next two days which of the 32 players will be in the squad for next season.

Other players will have to leave the club or play for Madrid's satellite club Castilla.

Madrid leaves Austria tomorrow.
