# Celtic: Mikael Lustig buzzing at Scott Bain deal

**Former Celtic man Mikael Lustig was one of hundreds to react to the news of Scott Bain’s new Parkhead [contract](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/january/17/scott-bain-signs-new-contract-extension-with-the-hoops/).**

### The Lowdown: Busy January

The Hoops have been extremely productive during the January window, bringing in [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) new players already.

Three have arrived from Japan and one from Ireland, with the club also [working](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12508514/celtic-hope-to-seal-permanent-jota-and-cameron-carter-vickers-deals) on making Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers’ loan moves permanent.

It’s not only incomings Celtic are working on, though, with Michael Nicholson also [looking](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/12510080/celtic-transfer-news-liam-shaw-and-ewan-henderson-set-to-leave) to move on a number of players, including Leigh Griffiths, who they have [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/celtic-hoops-terminate-leigh-griffiths-contract/) cut ties with.

### The Latest: Bain contract

Celtic [announced](https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1XyB6MtKx/) on Monday that Bain has signed a new deal through until 2024.

They shared the news on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1XyB6MtKx/), with former right-back Lustig commenting ‘Torpedo’ along with heart eye and raised hands emojis.

### The Verdict: Barkas and Hazard to leave?

Described by James McFadden as a shot-stopper who [‘makes it look easy’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2019/02/blogs/scottish-premier-league/mcfadden-heaps-praise-on-bain/) with the ball at his feet, Bain has made just [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-bain/leistungsdaten/spieler/85627) appearances under Ange Postecoglou but has been a [regular](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-bain/leistungsdaten/spieler/85627) in the matchday squad.

And, with Bain signing new terms, that could mean that Vasilis Barkas and Conor Hazard may now seal exits.

There has been [talk](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/celtic-barkas-and-hazard-could-go-in-january/) of that happening, and with Celtic also having [high hopes](https://theathletic.com/3015442/2021/12/28/celtic-transfer-mailbag-japanese-signings-left-back-upgrade-and-what-about-barkas/?article_source=search&search_query=celtic) for teenager Tobi Oluwayemi, now could be the time for the pair to depart, leaving Hart, Bain and Oluwayemi as options over the coming years.
