Scott Brown has made his decision over whether he will stay at Celtic beyond this season.
The midfielder joined from Hibs in 2007 and has captained the hoops to seven consecutive titles, last season he swept the boards at the Player of the Year awards.
Brown has been a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ double treble success but has found his place under greater threat this season after picking up a knee injury in the autumn.

New A-League side Western Melbourne have held talks with the midfielder but it appears that the three year contract suggested failed to materialise with the financial aspect also falling short.
Under Ronny Deila Brown spent time coaching the Celtic development squad with the offer of a definite coaching role when his playing days are over included in the contract offer from Celtic.
Brown will be 34 in June, before Christmas he played his 500th match for Celtic.
