Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has allayed the fans fears by stating the Parkhead club have no players on the books with exit clauses in their contracts.

Whilst admitting the exit clause is part and parcel of modern-day transfer negotiations it is not a concern of anyone at Parkhead at the moment.

He said: "The exit clause is a normal part of transfer negotiations these days, it's not unusual.

"During my time here we have been asked to include exit clauses in contracts but have managed to resist it.

"Sometimes players ask for an exit clause and less money but we don't have any players at the club who have one."
