Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Celtic's stance on Matt O'Riley's future amid links to Liverpool.

Reports in recent days have claimed that Celtic have rejected a second bid from Atalanta for the in-demand O'Riley.
As well as the Reds, Juventus and Roma, plus the likes of Atletico Madrid, have also been linked with a move for the Denmark international.
But speaking during Celtic's pre-season tour of America, Rodgers has outlined Celtic's determination to keep O'Riley at the club this summer.
However, the former Liverpool boss did acknowledge the challenge that the Scottish Premiership faces in keeping their star names at Celtic Park.
He said: “We’re all quite relaxed about it [O'Riley's future].
Every player has a value but we see him as a really important player, and while he’s here, we’ll continue to develop him and improve.
?
"There’s no update.
I think we all understand the people close to Celtic understand the model Celtic works.
"Matt’s been at the club for three years; he’s developed into the player he has and he knows the privilege it is to play for Celtic, and of course, naturally, how it works is the player gets that opportunity to move on.

"Celtic is a club where you can move on but you don’t have to, and it’s a very difficult club to move on from.
