Healy not leaving Celtic on loan, says O'Neill

MARTIN O'NEILL says that Republic of Ireland international Colin Healy will not be leaving Celtic on loan in January.

The 22-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season, but with his first-team chances limited he has refused to sign an extension.

However, the Parkhead boss rates Healy highly and has told him that he will get his chance if nobody comes in to buy him during the transfer window.
