The 21-year-old winger has been in exceptional form this season and admits his ambitions lie beyond Scottish football.

Speaking ahead of Barcelona's visit in the Champions League on Wednesday, he told the Herald: "I think later in my career [I would like to play in Spain]. I am very happy at Celtic just now. Every player has aspirations to play in the best league.

"The top four in the English Premier League are top quality but La Liga is so competitive, anybody can beat anyone else.

"You sometimes see the bottom teams beating the top ones, which doesn't happen in most leagues.

"You have the top teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal but outside of that there are plenty of good teams as well."
