Kyogo Furuhashi has hinted he wants to stay and fight for his place at Rennes despite his nightmare spell in France.
The former Celtic hero has been linked with an emotional return to Parkhead after his £10 million move to Ligue 1 turned into a nightmare.
Kyogo played just 120 minutes in total since his January move and only started one league game.
He faces an uncertain future under manager Habib Beye, who almost completely bombed him out at the end of the campaign.

The 30-year-old forward is back in his homeland and was the special guest of honour at half time at his former club Vissel Kobe's game.
He gave a speech to the fans and appeared to indicate he wanted to prove himself at Rennes.
He said: "I'm so happy to be able to stand in front of you all again.
"I'll work harder and harder next season so that I can give you good news in future.
"Thank you for all your support."
Kyogo also lost his place in the Japan squad ahead of next year's World Cup and has been linked with a move away from Rennes.
