Oliver Burke has revealed he'd jump at the chance to stay at Celtic beyond the end of the season.
But the on-loan West Brom striker admits the decision may be taken out of his hands.
Burke joined the Hoops in January on a short-term deal in a bid to reignite his career and has netted four goals.
The 21-year-old knows he's reached an where first-team football is vital, having spent the past few seasons on the fringes at RB Leipzig, Nottingham Forest and now at the Hawthorns.
He was emphatic when asked if he'd like to remain at Celtic but stressed his future was very much up in the air heading towards the end of the campaign.
He told Ladbrokes: "If it was down to myself, I'd snatch it right up.
"I think it's an amazing club, I'm very happy here and enjoying my football - so why wouldn't I want to stay here?
"But right now it's totally out of my hands. We just have to wait and see come the end of the season."
Burke's situation is complicated by both his parent and loan clubs being without a permanent manager.
Neil Lennon is Hoop's interim boss following the departure of the man who brought Burke to Celtic, Brendan Rodgers, while West Brom recently sacked Darren Moore.
James Shan has been installed as caretaker but the club are set for more upheaval come the summer.
Burke added: "Right now I'm just focusing on playing here at Celtic, getting games and playing as much as I can.

"At the moment it's out of my hands as I'm a West Brom player. They own me, but hopefully I can speak with my agent and get something sorted, something like this (Celtic).
"Nothing's quite done and dusted yet so I'll finish out the season here and see what happens.
"It depends on West Brom and how they feel towards me, we'll see how it goes. Right now they don't have a manager.
"Maybe another manager will come in and have a look at me, I don't know.
"But it's one of these things in football where you have to go along with it."
