Here are some of the best reactions to the van Dijk transfer on Twitter:
Van Dijk spent two seasons with the Hoops after joining from Groningen in 2013 for around £2.6 million.
He won two league titles and was part of the team which reached the last 32 of the Europa League under former manager Ronny Deila.
He was very highly-rated in his brief spell with the Hoops, being named in the Scottish Premiership team of the season in both of the seasons he spent in Glasgow.
He left to join Southampton following Celtic’s failure to qualify for the Champions League group stages in 2015, the English Premier League side paying £13million for the centre-back.
