    MIKAEL Lustig didn’t have to think twice about pledging his future to Celtic after signing an extension to his contract to keep him at Paradise until at least May 2019.

    The Swedish defender is in his fifth year as a Celt and has a magnificent seven trophies to his name, and he told the official Celtic website that the sensational start the Scottish champions have experienced under Brendan Rodgers meant there was no decision to make when offered a new deal.

    “I’ve been here for a long time and I really enjoy my life here and playing for Celtic,” he said. “I’m really happy. I’m still hungry for more and I love being here.

    “We’ve started really well in the first six months under the new manager and staff so that’s why it was an easy thing for me to do. Celtic is growing and getting better every season now and I want to be a part of it.

    “We have a chance to take the treble now and we’ve obviously not done that yet, but everyone wants to just continue to develop as a team, continue to play against good sides and learn.”

    An experienced internationalist with Sweden as well as a senior member of the Hoops backline, Lustig has done it all in his time as a Bhoy. The Celtic star has lifted every trophy in Scotland and starred for club and country on the continent, but he said he can’t pick a highlight from his time as there have been so many.

    “There have been plenty of things,” he added. “To win five in a row, and going for six, has been brilliant. As a footballer you want to win silverware and I’ve done that. And to play Champions League football at Celtic Park has been amazing so hopefully we can continue with that.

    “For me it has been brilliant, not just at Celtic but the people in Glasgow have also been really helpful. You just feel like people want to help you all the time and it’s been amazing for us as a family.”

    his wife posted this on her blog
    Michael's contract expires this summer. We have lived in Glasgow for 5 years. Lucia has almost lived here all her life, she was 4 months when we moved here. Lexie was born here. Glasgow is a huge part of us. In football life, you never know where you will stay in a few months, or even weeks, days .. We have been fortunate enough to be in the same place for several years. It gives our children a secure upbringing. We will not leave Glasgow yet! Today writes Michael on a new contract with Celtic and we will stay here for a while!

    I love the Lustig family. And the Sviatchenko family.

    Exactly how I feel. I think/hope in the summer we're looking to sign a new right back. I think Lustig's future lays at centre back.

    A great servant and happy that he's signed a new deal.

    Honestly think him and Broony will be the only players to complete the full 10.
