Express Sport exclusively revealed last week that Bellamy was one of the top candidates to permanently replace Brendan Rodgers in the Bhoys hotseat.

It’s understood Bellamy's name features high on a shortlist drawn up by Hoops head of football operations Paul Tisdale.

But Welsh FA chief Noel Mooney issued a hands-off warning to the Scottish champions - reminding them the ex-Celts loan striker is under contract until 2028 and has the World Cup in his sights.
