‘Both Deserve New Deals’ ‘Proven Performers’ Celtic Fans Hoping Duo Are Handed Extensions As They Near End Of Their Contracts

Celtic midfielder Nir Bitton and left-back/winger Jonny Hayes both have contracts that expire at the end of the season and with only a few months to go before January, they have yet to be handed fresh terms.

Supporters on Twitter have been debating whether the pair deserve to be handed new deals. While there is almost unanimous agreement that Bitton should stay, not everyone is as convinced about Hayes:

Hoops boss Neil Lennon has raised the prospect of Bitton getting a new contract in recent weeks, but there has been little talk about Hayes’ situation.

The 32-year-old has already had a decent season, considering he scored the second goal in the 2-0 win against Rangers last month, but he does have a battle on his hands to get game time this campaign.

Boli Bolingoli is currently first choice at left-back while the Scottish champions also signed Greg Taylor from Kilmarnock to provide more competition.
