Celtic manager Martin O'Neill cast fresh doubt over his future with the Scottish Premier League leaders.
O'Neill declined to say whether he would be at the Glasgow club next season when asked at a news conference, replying: "We are going to have a look at everything in the summer time... absolutely."
He went on to discuss the goalkeepers for next season, saying David Marshall would be number one and hinting he would still like to keep Rab Douglas as back up although Leicester City had made the 33-year-old Scotland keeper an offer.
"I expect David Marshall, next season, to be the man in charge and to be the man to withstand all comers," O'Neill said.
"He's getting all sorts of experience here now and I would hope he would be absolutely right for the challenge," the Irishman said of the 20-year-old who broke into the first team towards the end of last season and has two Scotland caps.
"If we are lucky enough, whether we finish first or second in this League, we have Champions League or UEFA Cup matches and you wouldn't want to go into any season with one goalkeeper."
O'Neill went on to say: "I think Rab has been offered a contract by Leicester or so he was telling me. It's for a number of years.
"I am going to have a look at a number of things and it will depend, obviously, on the most important thing, it depends on budget.
"Rab can speak to whoever he wants to because he's out of contract at that stage... but I can't see any decisions being made until the final whistle of the league campaign."
