Celtic have ended their interest in signing Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna, says manager Brendan Rodgers.

Aberdeen rejected a bid in the region of £3.5m from Celtic for the Scotland centre-half, 21.

Meanwhile, centre-back Dedryck Boyata has not travelled to Lithuania for Thursday's Europa League play-off tie first leg with Suduva.

Belgium defender Boyata has not played for Celtic this term and has been linked with a move away from the club.

The 27-year-old, who was the subject of a failed bid by Fulham, insisted he was injured after not travelling with the squad for last week's Champions League third qualifying round defeat by AEK Athens.

Rodgers said Boyata had held clear the air talks with himself and club captain Scott Brown.
