Celtic have failed in their attempts to lure Kevin Doyle from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Scottish champions were believed to have been keen to sign the Irish striker on six-month loan basis, with a view to making the move a permanent one during the summer.
However, Wolves manager Dean Saunders confirmed after his side's 2-1 defeat to Leicester City this evening that he would not be allowing the 29-year-old to leave the club.
Doyle joined Wolves from Reading in the summer of 2009.
