Ronny Deila has refused to dampen speculation linking Celtic with a move for Hibernian midfielder Scott Allan.

Traditional rivals Rangers have made three unsuccessful bids for the player, with their Championship rivals adamant that he will not be going to Ibrox.

Asked how close Celtic were to making a firm offer for Allan, the Hoops boss said: I can't comment on anything until something is done.''

Deila, speaking at the club's Lennoxtown training complex to publicise a book about his first season as manager, continued: I have commented on names before and that wasn't very good.

He is not our player, so please try to ask about our players.''
