George Boateng has told Sky Sports that he has not discussed a possible transfer to Celtic or Rangers.

The Middlesbrough midfielder was quoted on Friday as saying that he was expecting to leave the Riverside this summer.

The experienced Dutchman was also reported to have said that he was expecting the Old Firm duo to make an approach.

He was quoted in the Scottish Sun as saying: "The situation is difficult, but my time at Middlesbrough is at an end.

"I am told both Glasgow clubs will come back for me this summer."

No talks

However, the former Aston Villa midfielder, who is currently back in Holland, insists he has not discussed his future.

"I've never spoken to anyone in Scotland," Boateng told Sky Sports.

"I have never spoken to anyone about Celtic and Rangers.

"I don't know where they (the quotes) have come from."
