Lennon Miller has been told he'll get enough games at Celtic despite the presence of Callum McGregor.
The Parkhead side were reportedly eyeing a late swoop for the teenage midfielder in the January transfer window, although he remains at Motherwell until at least the season's end.
Miller has been a standout since breaking through at Fir Park.
Still just 18, he has been widely linked with several moves away from Lanarkshire.

Brendan Rodgers' men are said to be 'keeping tabs' on Miller ahead of the summer transfer window, although Ross McCormack believes any move to Glasgow's east end hangs on what other clubs may be interested: "It's going to depend on what offers are on the table," he said [Open Goal].
"I don't see why not.
"I believe that if McGregor isn't ready to go, I believe Lennon Miller could get in one of the other two places [in midfield]. So he will get enough games at Celtic.
"I don't really see him as a sitting number six."
Miller has made 32 appearances for Motherwell this season and captained the side on several occasions.
It remains to be seen where his long-term future lies.
Celtic's interest in the Scotland international is well-documented, although the Parkhead club are recently said to have had a formal offer for Levante midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili rebuked.
The Georgia international has instead agreed to join Sporting CP this summer for £5m, with Rodgers missing out on the services of the 25-year-old.
