When every Celtic contract expires at Parkhead as club's prepare to offload five this summer
Celtic's season may have ended in heart-breaking fashion, but there's no doubting it was still an extremely successful one as the club wrapped up a memorable domestic double. Here is the contract expiry date of every Celtic player heading into the summer transfer window. Cr: SNS Group. | SNS Group A penalty shootout defeat to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final denied them a sixth treble in the last nine seasons, though their record equalling 55th title win, which saw them finish 17 points ahead of rivals Rangers, is one that will be remembered for a very long time in the east end of Glasgow. Head coach Brendan Rodgers has already hinted at a refresh of the squad in the summer though, with Luis Palma, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Stephen Welsh, Hyeok-kyu Kwon and Marco Tilio all expected to depart this summer, while the club are also set to welcome back Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney to the club on a pre-contract agreement next month. Several Celtic players could find their futures put under the microscope over the summer, but which individuals are protected by long-term contracts - and which have just one year left to run? Here, The Scotsman looks at when every Celtic player's contract expires: 1 . Jota The Portuguese forward is under contract until the summer of 2030 after agreeing a long-term deal with the club upon his arrival from Rennes in January. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group Photo Sales 2 .

Celtic star quizzed on his Hoops future amid major transfer interest as he admits ‘I can't talk'
His focus isn't on Celtic for now though PALM-ED OFF Celtic star quizzed on his Hoops future amid major transfer interest as he admits 'I can't talk' LUIS PALMA has issued a major update regarding his Celtic future. The Honduran winger, 25, is expected to leave the Scottish champions this summer after being shipped out on loan to Greece in January.

The wide-man struggled for minutes in Glasgow before leaving on his short-term deal, where he also failed to tie down a regular starting spot. But despite his lack of playing opportunities, Palma is believed to be on the radar of some of Olympiacos' rivals in the upcoming transfer window, including AEK Athens, Panathinaikos and PAOK. He remains a Celtic player for now though and he is fully focused on trying to impress Brendan Rodgers when he returns to pre-season in the coming weeks. Advertisement On his time in Piraeus, Palma said: "Winning titles is always good. This season has been a great learning experience for me. Now we hope the upcoming preseason will be the best. I have to return to Celtic. "The experience was very nice, because I'd been there before (after playing for Aris), and being in the biggest team in Greece is very nice." Palma was speaking to the media in his homeland Honduras after jetting over to South America to link up with his fellow countrymen ahead of his first ever Gold Cup campaign next month. The 25-year-old was then quizzed about his future in Glasgow and asked if he believes he can still make it back into Rodgers' plans. Advertisement He said: "I have a contract with Celtic, I can't talk about any other team. From the moment I have a contract, I have a chance of earning a spot." But for now Palma is only focused on making his country proud in the World Cup qualifiers and the Gold Cup. Humble Celtic star Luis Palma spotted sitting on top deck of bus in city centre Honduras face the Cayman Islands and Antigua and Barbuda in the second round of the qualifiers, before kicking off their Gold Cup campaign against Alistair Johnston's Canada on June 18. El Salvador and Curacao make up the other two nations in their group. Advertisement Palma continued: "It's an honor, as always. Coming to the national team always means something great. Well, now I'm preparing for the qualifiers and the Gold Cup "This is a step-by-step process. First, we have to advance from the group stage, then the next step. We're going to work hard, and our teammates who are coming will also arrive with the same enthusiasm to do well. "We come with the same passion: to do things well, to help the national team, to put it where it deserves to be. These upcoming matches and the Gold Cup will be very important. "Every group is tough. In the Gold Cup, everyone wants to reach the final and advance from the group stage. We have to prepare for these matches. No team is easy today."
