The Celtic midfielder has been sidelined under Brendan Rodgers.

Celtic midfielder Nir Bitton has not been one of the players at Parkhead to benefit from the arrival of Brendan Rodgers as manager.
The Israeli has struggled to play regular football since the arrival of the former Liverpool boss.
Bitton, a regular starter for Celtic for the past two seasons, has found himself on the bench at times under Rodgers and must be wondering whether his career at Celtic is coming to an end.
If he is looking to go south of the border, he could do a lot worse than following in the footsteps of Beram Kayal and heading to Brighton.
Brighton’s Beram Kayal
Kayal found himself in a similar situation at Celtic in 2015 and made the move to Brighton. He has since gone on to establish himself as a key player for the Seagulls and is helping them in their hunt for Premier League football.
Bitton, who would also join fellow Israeli international Tomer Hemed at the Amex, could be an integral part of a Brighton team that makes the step up to the Premier League.
Like Kayal, the switch could reinvigorate his career.
