Mikael Lustig has suggested to the Daily Record that he wants to be at Celtic next season.

Lustig is in the final year of his contract at Celtic, and no new offer has been presented to him yet.

The Swedish full-back admits that he is in the dark over his future, but he is hoping that he is playing football at Parkhead next term.

“I don’t know. I am still under contract here so my full focus is on Celtic,” he said.

“I want to be here and we will see what happens. It is up to me and the board.

“I know what stands in the contract and we will see what happens.”

Mikael Lustig of Celtic urges his team forward during the Betfred League Cup Final between Celtic and Motherwell at Hampden Park on November 26, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Lustig has played regularly for Celtic this season, but he has not entirely escaped criticism.

Some Bhoys fans have suggested that Lustig has started to show signs of age, as he reaches the twilight of his career.

Brendan Rodgers still appears to have faith in the Swedish defender though, as he regularly picks him.

Lustig has made 25 appearances for Celtic, across all competitions, and he started the League Cup final at the weekend.

Celtic are next in action tomorrow evening, when they take on Motherwell.
