By . Stephen Mcgowan . Kris Commons has told Celtic he is ready to start talks over a deal which would tie him to Parkhead for the rest of his career. Newly-promoted Leicester City are keen on the 30-year-old, the Scottish Football Writers’ Player of the Year last season. But Commons, who scored 32 goals as the SPFL champions streaked to a third straight title last term, says he wants to end his career in Glasgow playing for Celtic.

Entering the final year of his contract, the former Scotland international can talk to other clubs from January. Keen to secure his future as quickly as possible, however, Commons said ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League qualifying first leg with KR Reykavik: ‘The manager and (chief executive) Peter Lawwell are aware of my contract situation and hopefully, sooner rather than later, we’ll sit down and talk about it. ‘When you get four or five months into the last year of your contract, you can start talking to other clubs.

James Forrest is out of Celtic's Champions League second-round qualifier against KR Reykjavik in Iceland on Tuesday night.

Provisional squad: Forster, Lustig, Matthews, Mulgrew, Van Dijk, Ambrose, Izaguirre, Griffiths, Kayal, Commons, Pukki, Stokes, Johansen, Henderson, O'Connell, Zaluska, Gordon. ‘But that’s something I don’t want to do, I want to get my future sorted here. ‘I’d rather get it sorted in the next couple of days, if it was up to me. ‘I hope we’ll get it done soon.
