The Celtic contract state of play on every player as Reo Hatate signature pending and others wait in line for new deals

Celtic are close to agreeing an extension for Reo Hatate which would come hot on the heels of Anthony Ralston signing a new contract at the Treble winners - and make the Japan star the seventh Parkhead player to put pen to paper on an extension since Brendan Rodgers returned to the club.

The Irishman has wasted no time in assessing his squad and making sure he tied down the most valuable assets while the likes of Jota and Carl Starfelt headed for the exit along with former boss Ange Postecoglou. Hatate's fellow midfielder Matt O'Riley has been an early season standout and is also said to be in talks over a new contract which would delight the Celtic fans.

Callum McGregor - Hoops skipper penned a five-year extension in the summer to continue to lead the Treble winners until 2028.

Kyogo Furuhashi - One who many feared might follow Ange Postecoglou out of the exit door, possibly even to Spurs with the Aussie, but instead committed to Celtic with a new deal until 2027.

Stephen Welsh - Stopper is currently crocked but was rewarded with a new deal last month until 2027.

Liel Abada - The Israeli was at the centre of speculation last season, not helped by an apparent frustration at a lack of game time, but winger put all that to
