Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto has told Celtic-linked goalkeeper Sam Johnstone he does not feature in his plans.
The 33-year-old England cap is reportedly one of the targets the Parkhead club are looking at as they look to bring in someone to rival Viljami Sinisalo for the gloves.
And their path to bringing Johnstone in may have opened up as the Portuguese boss got brutally honest on his future.
While the shotstopper is being allowed to keep training with the rest of the Wolves squad, he isn't in the plans for the future.

Peixoto said: "I have the same conversations and the same honesty with Sam I have with all the players.Before they are a player, they are a man, with families and kids. We have to respect the person.
"I have to talk with them honestly and tell them what is my decision or that of the club to build a strong team.Sometimes you have to take difficult decisions in order to build a better team or good group.
"All the time I am very clear, honest and direct with the players and all the people in the club.He (Johnstone) is still training with the team but won’t be part of the team for the future."
