On-form Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has revealed when he expects contract talks to take place between his representatives and the club.
Brendan Rodgers signed the former Premier League winner with Leicester City during the summer.
He joined the Scottish Premiership champions as Joe Hart's replacement.
Without having much to do in the opening month or two of the season, Schmeichel has had to be called upon more often in recent games against RB Leipzig and Kilmarnock.
The Dane, 38, signed a one-year deal with the Hoops in the summer.
He has the option of a further year at Parkhead but insists he doesn't want to waste energy thinking about his contractual situation at the moment.
He told Tipsbladet: "One thing at a time. It is an option for another year, but we will take that at some point next year."

Continuing, speaking more generally about his time in Glasgow so far, the goalkeeping veteran added: "I am very satisfied. I have been playing really well and I love being part of the team.
"It's a cool style of play that we have, and it suits me really well. We've had a good start, but it's not about how you start. I can't complain.
"We play really good football. The past week has been typical for our team.
"In pre-season, we beat City and Chelsea, and then we took it further and beat Leipzig in the Champions League.
"We are in a good place and we can play many different types of matches.
"Anything but a victory is a failure. I feel super cool about that.
"It's a completely different type of pressure than what I've been used to in my career. It is a new experience."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
