Roberts: I’ve had a ball in Paradise

- By NEIL CAMERON

PATRICK ROBERTS doesn’t know where he will be next season but believes his Celtic days will be the best of his career.

The winger’s loan deal ends in May and while it is far from certain he will be given a chance at Manchester City, the next few months are likely to the 20-year-old’s last at Parkhead.

While injury hasn’t helped him this season, he is ready to make the most of his remaining times in Scotland and win a treble for Celtic.

Roberts said: “I’ve loved every minute here and nobody knows what will happen in the future.

“But I can safely say at the end of the season if everything goes to plan I can look back and say it was one of the best times in my career.

“I loved playing out on that pitch and we’ve still got a few games left.

“My priority is to get as much game-time as possible. Obviously it’s a big squad and everyone wants to play.

“The atmosphere right now is amazing, everyone is chilled out and when we win at the weekend it makes the week even better and we can then go into the next game even more confident.

“It’s brilliant and everyone’s loving it, especially with the fans.

“I’ve developed a lot and I’ve matured,” Roberts told the Celtic View as he reflected on the past 14 months.

“A year has gone by and I’ve changed as a player and a person, and I can’t be thankful enough for that

“It’s fantastic to be here now and to go unbeaten (throughout the domestic season) would be an immense achievemen­t.”

“There are still a few games left but if we get there it’ll be the one of the most remarkable things I’ve done. So we need to stay confident and focused.”
