With our squad jampacked full of midfielders, with Lewis Morgan, Ryan Christie and Scott Allan also in the mix when their loan spells end in the summer, fans have been debating who should stay and who should leave.
Some supporters were keen to keep the majority of the current crop in the squad, while others were open to more wholesale changes.
Here is the debate that resulted on Twitter:
Celtic midfielders
Forrest
Roberts
N`tcham
Brown
Bitton
Armstrong
Sinclair
Hayes
Rogic
McGregor
Musonda
Kouassi
Allan
Christie
Morgan
BenyuAll competing for 5 places next year, who stays who goes and do we need to buy any midfielders?

Verdict:
The futures of players like Tom Rogic, Stuart Armstrong and Patrick Roberts are up in the air so it`s hard to say whether they will be here beyond the summer. Others, such as Allan and Kundai Benyu have been tipped firmly to leave.
It still leaves us with a long list of talented players who are competing for a limited number of first team places. It`s great that we have a long list of playmakers, wingers and enforcers to choose from, but I wouldn`t rule out the manager still bringing in another one or two midfielders if he can find the right quality in the market.
