Cup heroics won't stop O'Dea quitting Celtic

Darren O'Dea has warned Celtic he could still walk away this summer if he fails to hold on to his first-team place. The young defender was Celtic's hero at Hampden on Sunday, but says: "I'd rather be playing football somewhere else than not playing at all.

"I'd obviously have to assess things in the summer. I've got the shirt at the moment and I'm lucky enough to have it so I'll be doing everything I can to keep it.

"I'm not thinking about anything else but playing at the moment."

He added: "If I was to play with Celtic week in, week out, I don't see any other club I'd rather be at. But obviously it's just a matter of playing week in, week out.

"I've managed to put a few games together and hopefully I can stay in the team."
