Mulumbu back at Killie looking for games and a little bit of luck

0 Youssouf Mulumbu: Man of the match.

game and to prepare. I was happy,” said Mulumbu. “It’s a different game against Rangers and I thought that we did good. We made some mistakes but didn’t lose a goal and Dan [Bachmann] had a great save with the penalty.

“It was hard at Celtic. You are going into a team which is winning every game and you see players like Ryan Christie, who deserved to play, to get his chance. When I had the chance to play, I was injured and, like I said, Ryan took the spot and we were in the same situation.

“He got the chance and he took it by playing well and scoring in every game. It happens in football. Sometimes you need the luck to be there at the right time and I know things can change quickly.

“I spoke with the manager at Celtic and he said that, if I could get some games by being on loan, he’d let me go. We are on good terms and I came to Kilmarnock with confidence and a little bit of disappoint­ment, so I need to show I’m a good player and that’s what I intend to do.”

Asked if he regretted his move to the reigning champions, he responded: “No, no, no. It’s a great club and my teammates were amazing with me.

“I’m here for six months to help Kilmarnock and if I do everything right and if we achieve something very good, I know I’ll be back at Celtic in the summer and everything can change from there.

“In my head, it’s not over at Celtic. If you speak with Brendan and the lads, they know I want to go back and do great things for them.”
