And the Norwegian stopper could end up walking away for nothing at the end of the season unless the SPL champions finally table a suitable offer.

The 22-year-old's advisors have been in discussions with Celtic for months without reaching a resolution but Rogne still wants to remain in Glasgow and is keeping his fingers crossed a deal can be reached. He said "It's frustrating as I enjoy it at Celtic and want to stay.

"This is about the economy. I have played when I have been healthy and I feel I should be paid like the other players in that category, but the deal has been much worse. The salary must reflect my value."

Rogne has been at Celtic for two-and-a-half years, but will now face stiffer competition for a staring slot with Nigerian Efe Ambrose signing in the final day on the transfer window.
