Erik Sviatchenko hopes to extend his Celtic career beyond the length of his current deal.
The 24-year-old defender moved from FC Midtjylland to Celtic in January and agreed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Hoops.
Sviatchenko has been part of the Celtic side which is currently leading the Scottish Premiership by a margin of 10 points to nearest challengers Aberdeen.
And he's already setting his sights on staying in Scotland for the long term.
"I could see myself being at Celtic for many years," he said. "I like the club, I like the place and I like the people around it.
"The city of Glasgow is really nice and all of those things together is a really good cocktail."
And he added: "It's about Celtic and us being the best that we can. We need to keep improving in every game but at this stage we're looking pretty well.
"Aberdeen are doing well and we had a difficult game against them so there are a few contenders."
Sviatchenko was speaking at an event to promote the Celtic Foundation, showcasing some of the club's work in the local community.
