Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee has insisted he no longer has any interest in going back to Celtic. McGhee was interviewed for the Parkhead job prior to Tony Mowbray's appointment nine months ago and was immediately linked with the role following the latter's departure on Thursday.

"It's a job that, even in the year or so that I was considered for the job, has changed," said McGhee.

"With the change in the qualification for the Champions League next year, Celtic - like most other jobs in Scotland - has become a domestic job, with the outside chance of Champions League football.

"When I was considering the job last year, the big attraction was the Champions League, and that's probably not going to be there now - the actual Champions League stage - for some time."

McGhee, added: "My chance was last year, and they gave it to Tony.

"I'm here now and I'm committed to being here.

"I'm not quite sure where Celtic are going to go in terms of management but that's their problem.

"My problem is beating St Mirren on Saturday and that's difficult enough."
