Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is confident midfielder Stilian Petrov will remain at the club.
The Bulgarian international, who was dropped for the win at Dundee United on Sunday, has yet to agree a new deal with the Bhoys and claimed at the weekend he would walk away from Parkhead.
But O'Neill said: "My hope is that perhaps, if we can speak to Stilian and his agent together, we will still be able to reach a more satisfactory conclusion. As far as I can see, the person who stands to lose most from the current state of affairs is Stan [Petrov].
"After all, as things stand, he still has two-and-a-half years left to run on his current terms," he said.
Petrov's agent said: "We will have to wait and see what will happen and I will be able to say more after I have spoken to Martin O'Neill. But it is important to say that we are not thinking of a transfer".
