Celtic boss Ronny Deila insists Leigh Griffiths remains part of his plans despite being linked with a move back to Hibernian.

Griffiths has found himself down the pecking order at Celtic this season with recent reports suggesting Hibs would like to bring the forward back to Easter Road on an emergency three-month loan.

Hibs boss Alan Stubbs has confirmed his interest in Griffiths, but Deila has played down talk of a switch for the Scotland international, saying he has a future at Parkhead.

"He's at Celtic and nothing is going on with Hibs," Deila told the Daily Record.

"He's here and he's been in our plans.

"There haven't been any real talks between the clubs."
