Celtic defender Mikael Lustig could be on the way out of Parkhead.

Mikael Lustig of Celtic picks up an injury during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on May 12, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic defender Mikael Lustig is out of contract at the end of the month – and he may well have hinted that he’s heading for the Parkhead exit door.

The Swedish right back, 32, joined Celtic from Rosenborg back in 2012, with Neil Lennon – now Bhoys manager once again – luring him to Scotland.

In more than seven years at Parkhead, Lustig has racked up 19 goals in 226 games, whilst winning eight league titles in a row for the Bhoys.

Lustig’s glittering career with Celtic may well come to an end amid interest back in his native Sweden, and The Scottish Sun reported over the weekend that Lustig would make a decision after his international commitments.

Sweden took on Spain on Monday night, meaning Lustig is now free to think about his future – and today, he has dropped a hint that he’s leaving the club.

Lustig took to Instagram today to post a video of his highlights at Celtic, potentially an emotional nod to his exit, with teammate Nir Bitton celebrating his time at Parkhead.

Another Bhoys ace, Jonny Hayes, replied with a crying emoji, which some fans have taken to mean as a sign that Lustig is going, believing the Irishman is emotional about his teammate leaving the club rather than about the video itself.
