Hoops star reveals Sunderland bidCeltic veteran Bobo Balde has admitted that he rejected a three month loan offer from Sunderland.
Balde, 32, told The Herald: "I had been in contact with Sunderland manager Roy Keane on the last day of the transfer window.
"He wanted me, but only for three months. I didn't want to go for three months, but Peter Lawwell didn't find a way to let me go permanently.
"I didn't refuse to leave just to be here playing reserve-team football.
"I refused to leave because I wanted everything to be clear, not the way Peter Lawwell, or anyone else, wants."
