LEWIS MORGAN is yet to play a game for Celtic.

The midfielder was allowed to head back to St Mirren after signing for Celtic in January to help the Buddies secure the title and promotion to the SPFL – something Morgan was an integral part of making happen.

However, without even kicking a ball for Celtic yet he has already been linked with a move away to Sunderland to rejoin former boss Jack Ross who left the Paisley club last month.

Reports down south claim Ross wants Morgan on-loan for the season as he looks to get the black cats back into the Championship but the Celtic midfielder is having none of that.

“The only thing in my head is going into Celtic pre-season, starting on Monday and impressing,” Morgan stated.

“I don’t have any eyes on any other club and why should I? It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world I’m at. I’m only focused on Celtic.

“I suppose you never really know with football, but the plan is for me to go in there in pre-season and try and really stake my own claim to get in the team.

“I know that’s going to be hard and I’ve said many times that you’ve got to respect the players that are there. I’m going in to try and prove why I’m there and how I can get into that Celtic XI.”
