The Swedish right-back could be leaving Celtic for free unless a new deal is tabled.

Celtic fans on Twitter are calling for Mikael Lustig to be offered a new deal.

The veteran right-back played a big part in Celtic clinching an eighth successive Premiership crown away to Aberdeen today.

Lustig opened the scoring with a diving header in the first half which sent Neil Lennon’s side on their way.

As things stand, the 32-year-old Sweden international is set to leave Parkhead for free next month.

Swedish side AIK have been linked and The Daily Record reported in March that Lustig was still waiting to see if a new deal would be offered in Glasgow.

He has won 15 major titles in Scotland – including eight Premiership crowns – and Celtic fans on Twitter would love to see him stay another year after his goal today.

Lustig has certainly reminded Celtic fans of his importance since Lennon took the reins from Brendan Rodgers, who had signed Jeremy Toljan on loan in January and was playing him regularly.

The former Rosenborg star, who joined in 2012, earns around £24,000 per week, according to The Daily Star.
