Celtic winger Gary Mackay-Steven only made nine appearances in the league last season.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Gary Mackay-Steven is set to leave Celtic in the next fortnight.

Celtic completed the signing of Jonny Hayes from Aberdeen last week, and the 29-year-old’s arrival seems to have knocked Mackay-Steven even further down the pecking order at the Glasgow club.

Brendan Rodgers is now keen to move the former Dundee United man on this summer, and a move is expected to take place soon.

Mackay-Steven has plenty of suitors after him, and Celtic are anticipating offloading the wide-man in the next two weeks.

Mackay-Steven has failed to make much of an impact at Celtic, ever since signing back in January 2015.

The 26-year-old made an encouraging start with the Bhoys, but failed to sustain his form.

Since Rodgers has taken charge, Mackay-Steven’s game-time has been hugely limited – and he made just nine league appearances over the course of last season.

In total, Mackay-Steven has played 56 games for Celtic since signing, hitting the back of the net on 10 occasions.
