Dundee United boss Craig Levein has dismissed speculation linking Willo Flood with a move back to Tannadice on loan from Celtic.

Flood left United for Celtic in January but has failed to hold down a first-team place.

The Irishman has recently admitted he might have to consider his future at Celtic if he is not playing regularly, but Levein has rejected the rumours of a possible return for the midfielder.

"No, there is nothing in it," said Levein.

"We would need a whip-round to get anybody in."
