Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer will get a week of downtime before pulling on his boots again.

The Norwegian will join up with his national squad and has insisted that he has no qualms about not having too much of a break this summer.

“I will have a nice week off before I join up with the national squad," he said.

“Then I will have time for some relaxation after that in Norway.

“I don’t think the manager was concerned me to joining up with Norway.

“It is a bit different for the Scotland boys as they have a lot of travelling to do.

“I have a game in Iceland which is only half an hour away on a flight and then we play at home in Oslo.

“I can understand where Celtic are coming from because we have played a lot of games this season."

The 20-year-old has come to the fore in the latter half of the season this year for the Parkhead side and he was thrilled to play his part in securing a back-to-back treble.

Last year the Norwegian was back home on holiday after his loan deal with Kilmarnock had ended and he watched Tom Rogic's winning goal at Hampden from his sofa.

He had a much better view of proceedings on Saturday and he is keen to ensure that he continues where he left off when he returns to the club next month.

“It has been a really professional season from the squad," he said.

“To win six trophies in two years is a massive performance from us.

“To be part of this and to play so many games this season has been incredible for me.

“It really means a lot to be a big part of history. You need to keep progressing. But, next year is another perfect opportunity. This is a great club to learn and improve.”

Ajer was signed by former Hoops boss Ronny Deila but hasn't checked in with him of late.

Deila posted a message of congratulations to Celtic on Saturday afternoon via social media and Ajer believes he will always owe his countryman a debt.

“I haven’t spoken so much to him lately, but he signed me and that will always be a big thing for me," he said.

“Now I am learning from the gaffer every day and the last two years has been unbelievable.”
