Celtic youngster Darren O'Dea has threatened to leave the club in the summer if he fails to win a regular place in Gordon Strachan's starting line-up.

O'Dea scored his first goal for more than two years as the Bhoys beat Rangers 2-0 in Sunday's CIS Cup Final.

However, he is frustrated by his lack of first-team opportunities, saying: "I'd rather be playing football somewhere else than not playing at all.

"I'd obviously have to assess things in the summer. I've got the shirt at the moment and I'm lucky enough to have it so I'll be doing everything I can to keep it.

"I'm not thinking about anything else but playing at the moment."
