Swans supremo Huw Jenkins claims Hoops chief executive Peter Lawwell called him to ask permission to speak to Martinez, which he refused until he had discussed the approach with the Spaniard.

"I had a call off their chief executive making me aware that they'd like to talk to Roberto," Jenkins told BBC Sport.

"Like I've always done, I refused that until I've spoken to Roberto myself and talked things through," he added.

Meanwhile, West Brom remain adamant they have received no approach from Celtic for in-demand manager Tony Mowbray.

Mowbray continues to be the subject of strong speculation linking him with a move back to Parkhead where he spent four years as a player in the 1990s.

But the former Hibernian boss is continuing to press ahead with his plans for the new campaign with the Baggies who were relegated from the Barclays Premier League at the end of last season.
