Nir Bitton's Celtic contract status as fans wonder over cryptic social media update

Nir Bitton has left Celtic fans confused over what's next in the wake of an emotional social media update.

The utility player has been with the Hoops since joining in 2013 from Ashdod.

He's played 37 times this term but many of his appearances have come off the bench as Ange Postecoglou 's team march towards Premiership glory.

Bitton's contract doesn't expire until next year but a recent Instagram update has left supporters intrigued following Saturday's 4-1 win over Hearts.

Posting a couple of his photos to his story with his children, he said: "It's been a hell of a journey."

One fan said 'could just be referencing the season we've had but. I get the feeling he might go' while another commented 'been a great servant to the club. Going out on a high and he'll always be welcomed back.'

Bitton has been linked with a return to Israel in the past but it remains to be seen if he leaves the Premiership champions in waiting this summer.

He'll potentially have one more outing to come at Parkhead next Saturday against Motherwell along with a title-deciding trip to Dundee United on Wednesday.
