No way back for Bellamy, says Souness

GRAEME SOUNESS has warned Craig Bellamy not to hold his breath if he is hoping to return to Newcastle from Celtic.

The 25-year-old Welshman completed a loan move to Parkhead until the end of the season after rejecting the chance to join Birmingham in a £6m permanent transfer and later suggested he could still have a future on Tyneside.

But Souness, who insisted last week that Bellamy would never play for the club again as long as he remained in charge, insists nothing will change over the remaining months of the season.
