The German-born Ghanaian started his career at Leicester, going through the ranks before becoming a key member of Claudio Ranieri's league winning team in 2016.
He left a season later to join Crystal Palace, where he has made 250 appearances for the club.
However, under Oliver Glasner, the 32-year-old has struggled for game time, seeing only 94 minutes of Premier League action in 12 matches. He was an unused substitute in Palace's victory over Manchester United at the weekend.
Schlupp told Celtic, as quoted by the club's website:
“I have spoken to Brendan, and I am really looking forward to working with him and the lads in the squad as we aim to bring more silverware to our supporters.
“The team has already done brilliantly this season, both domestically and in Europe, and I know I am joining a really successful team, but I want to add to this, to play my own part and help us achieve even more.
“I can’t wait to get started, to pull on those famous green and white hoops, meet the fans and give everything I have to bring us more and more good times.”
Rogers delighted with capture of Schlupp
Celtic manager Brendan Rogers has expressed excitement with the signing of the experienced midfielder, claiming he will be a great addition to the team.
He said:
“I am really pleased that we have been able to bring Jeffrey to the club. I know he will love it at Celtic and I am sure our fans will love him and what he can bring to us.
“He is a fantastic guy, someone with real high-level experience and with great attributes including power, pace and versatility.
“I know that he can be a really important addition to our squad this season.”
