If we let Bitton leave for only £1m it would be criminal. Even if we have to give him an extra £5k a week over 2 years that's only £500k, plus whatever we are paying him. To get a replacement that can cover several positions would cost £? m's and may not work. No brainer for me, great utility squad player. And is still only 28.

Deffo wouldn't sell he'd walk into most teams calm on the ball and a good reader and passer.

With some players you don, t appreciate how good they are until they are not in the team. This may be the case with NB and it is only upon his return from injury and his impact on the games he has appeared in, that we have realized what he brings to the team as a whole.

For me it’s a no brainer that he and Johnny Hayes should get new deals, maybe 2 yr contracts, they are invaluable squad players and I think both want to stay which is a good thing and both can produce medals and money at the end of their careers, there are many many pros who finish up with money and not one single medal to their names.

Bitton will keep getting better with age. He was never the quickest anyway but what he does have is vision and composure. His positional sense at centre half is exceptional and that's where I can see him excel for Celtic for the next 5 years.

So we are giving someone a extra 1/ 2 million to sit on the bench. Seems bizarre for a player that's had about 6 good games for us and been injured most of his times with us. Steady Eddie replaceable.
