Robbie Brady will not be joining Swansea City confirms manager Russell Martin, but with the Irishman still a free agent a move Celtic could still be on the cards.
The creative midfielder was released by Burnley at the end of last season, and had long been on a list of potential Parkhead transfer targets from the summer.
Former Scotland international, Martin, has ruled out a move even though his former team-mate can sign outside of the transfer window.
Martin said: "I love Robbie as a guy. He's brilliant. Fantastic player. Been in the Premier League for the last however long.
"But I haven't spoken to him. I haven't spoken to him for a while, being honest.
"So there's nothing in that at the moment. He's a good player. Really good player, but I just think we've got a lot of players at the moment, we just need to work out who's going to fit in and who's going to really be with us over a long period of time.
"If it was different timing, then I'd possibly be telling you that I'd be really interested in it, but at this moment in time, there's nothing there."
