Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has denied he is at loggerheads with Aiden McGeady. The Republic of Ireland international has been on the bench for the last two games against Motherwell and Aalborg with one report on Friday claiming the 22-year-old had been singled out after the 4-2 home defeat to Rangers a fortnight ago.

It was claimed that McGeady was excluded from a team debriefing and told to eat lunch on his own.

However, asked if McGeady would be on the bench for the game against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday, Strachan replied: "Why wouldn't he be? He's been in the last two squads and played in a European tie.

"Any opinion or story expressed outside these gates is of no interest to me."

McGeady's agent David Holbrook also denied claims of a fall-out, and told the Scottish Sun: "I can honestly say that at no point has Aiden rung me and said he's got a problem with Gordon. Never.

"If they had had a massive fall-out — and if there was a crisis — he would want me in there calling the shots.

"That just hasn't happened and there is no indication that it is going to happen. He wasn't told to get changed in his own little room or anything like that. There is no crisis there.

"Aiden would love to play every week and is unhappy he's not playing. But the fact is, if he felt he had been slighted, and had been sent to Coventry, he'd have let me know."
