Gary Hooper has played down speculation linking him with a move to Southampton by insisting that he is very happy at Celtic.

Reports have suggested that the Saints had made the striker their number one transfer target following their promotion to the Premier League.

However, the 24-year-old has revealed that he is "loving" playing his football for the Bhoys.

"I have two years left on my contract," he told the Evening Times. "I am scoring goals and I am loving my football."

Hooper joined Celtic in 2010 from Scunthorpe United.
