Forgotten Celtic outcast Maik Nawrocki's chances of a return to Poland have been brutally ruled out by Slask Wrocław's sports director.
The Polish stopper has played just five minutes all season - and that was in a Premier Sports Cup tie against Falkirk at home back in September.
Celtic splashed out £4.3 million in July last year to sign Nawrocki from Legia Warsaw and was described as 'very highly-rated' by manager Brendan Rodgers.

However, he managed just seven league starts last term and has been ignored all season.
He was linked last week with a return to his homeland with Slask Wroclaw either on loan or as a permanent deal by reports in Poland.
But that was emphatically ruled out by the club's sports director, Rafał Grodzicki.
He said: "I can assure you that we weren't even interested in this player.
"We have many central defenders in the club and our priority for strengthening are in other positions."
The 23-year-old, who was once on Werder Bremen's books too, still has three-and-a-half years left of his deal at Parkhead and seems certain to leave in January when the transfer window reopens.
