Paddy McCourt says he's happy at Celtic.
It had been suggested that McCourt requested a transfer prior to the window closing last month with Liverpool reportedly keen on his services.
"It's rare something would happen to you on transfer deadline day without you knowing so I wasn't going anywhere," he told the Daily Record.
"Of course signing for Celtic was my dream but, at the end of the day, I want to play more football. That has been at the back of my mind a couple of times but I've spoken to the boss and I'm very much part of his plans.
"It's obvious anyone would rather play regularly than be on the fringes of the squad for the duration of their contract and I'm no different.
"I've enjoyed my three years at Celtic but, as much as I love the club and being part of the club, I want to play. If I was to leave it would be with a heavy heart but it isn't going to happen so I'm fully focused on playing for Celtic."
