20-yr-old has nothing left to prove: Three Celtic players who must be handed new deals
COMMENT
Sunday was a day of celebration for Celtic fans everywhere, as the Hoops clinched their seventh title in a row, with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over bitter rivals Rangers.
The Hoops dominated the match from start to finish, and were well-worth their victory, which could have been even greater if not for the display for Jak Alnwick in the Gers goal, who pulled off a series of terrific saves.
The Hoops go marching on towards a possible 'double treble', as the Scottish Cup Final with Motherwell lies ahead, but there could be changes to the Hoops side on the horizon.
The Bhoys have a lot of players coming to the end of their contracts towards the end of next season, and Brendan Rodgers will need to decide which of these players he wants to keep at the club, with ironically three of Sunday's heroes coming towards either the end of their contract, or the last season of their contract.

JAMES FORREST
The 26-year-old is enjoying the best season of his career, and finally broke his duck against the Gers with the third goal in the rout, and his 18th goal of the season.
Forrest had never previously scored double figures in a season before this one, which shows how well he has played this season.
The winger's deal runs out at the end of next season and there's no doubt that Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers, who has transformed the player, would love to get Forrest tied down on a long-term deal at the club.

TOM ROGIC
The Australian continued his great form against Rangers on Sunday with a deft finish into the corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season against the Ibrox side.
It was a goal that only he could have scored and his touch of genius would be badly missed if he leaves the Hoops, as his deal ends at the end of next season.
He has skills that very few players in Britain, let alone Scotland can match, and if he departs for pastures new in the summer it would leave a big void in the Hoops squad that would be extremely difficult to fill.

ODSONNE EDOUARD
The 20-year-old tore Rangers apart with his speed and movement, scoring two goals which set the tone for the rest of the game.
The Frenchman's situation at Parkhead is slightly different from those involving the other players on the list, as he is on-loan at the Hoops until the end of the season, however he has nothing left to proven and must get a permanent deal.
Despite this, the Hoops board and Brendan Rodgers must do all they can to give him a permanent contract with the Bhoys as he looks to have a massive future ahead of him in the game, and Hoops fans will be hoping that some of his best years are spent in Glasgow.
