Speaking to The Star, he said: “We’ve had nothing official at all… I’ve not heard anything, but it is relatively early. I’ve heard nothing from Hearts, so I can’t really comment on that.

“He’s part of the plans, and what you’ve said is hearsay. As far as I’m concerned he remains and keeps doing what he’s doing for us.

“He’s played his part, and will continue to do so. I’ll just treat it as speculation because we’ve not had an official approach.”

Speaking earlier this week about Patterson, Neilson said: “I know Callum is out of contract at the end of the season, and he is one we have looked at.

“But he’s a Sheffield Wednesday player at the moment.

“We have a number of targets we are eyeing up ahead of the January window in certain positions.

“Callum’s one who is definitely on the list.

“But it’s whether it gets done or not.”
