HOW IT STANDS
CELTIC’S TOP 10 EURO SCORERS GROUP B
not really. The manager has said publicly he knows what I can do, as do the other managers I’ve worked for.
“The gaffer knows how far I can go in the game. There was a lot of frustration in the Rosenborg celebration.
“But any goal you score is important regardless of whether it is a tap-in or a 30-yard strike.
“They are all important to you. It helped us get three points straight away. We have kicked on from there.
“The next two games in Salzburg and Leipzig were difficult but we bounced back with two victories.
“Now we need a point to go through. But we will be going all out to get a win. I don’t think it’s in any manager’s make-up to play for a point. It’s nice we only need a draw but there will be a full house at Celtic Park roaring us on for the win.
“We’re finishing the group against the most difficult opponents but our task might be eased a little now they’re already through.
“I am feeling fresh. I am ready to go whenever the manager needs me.
“It is up to me to prove to the gaffer and the coaching staff I’m worthy of a starting slot and I can hopefully make an impact from there.” LEIGH GRIFFITHS is a hat-trick away from becoming Celtic’s joint second-highest European goalscorer ahead of tomorrow night’s Europa League clash with Red Bull Salzburg. Here is the Hoops’ Euro top scorer chart. 1. Henrik Larsson 35 goals 2. Jinky Johnstone 16 goals 3. Chris Sutton 16 goals 4. Bobby Lennox 14 goals 5. Leigh Griffiths 13 goals 6. Stevie Chalmers 13 goals 7. Willie Wallace 13 goals 8. Tommy Gemmell 12 goals 9. Harry Hood 12 goals 10. Georgios Samaras 12 goals CELTIC need to win or draw against Salzburg at Parkhead to guarantee they progress to the last 32. If the Hoops lose to the Austrians, they need Rosenborg to beat or draw with Leipzig in Germany.
