Midfielder hopeful of start

Midfielder Scott Allan was hopeful of making a first start for Celtic against Hamilton Academical this weekend.

The 24-year-old has so far managed only a handful of appearances from the bench since arriving from Hibernian in August.

“Obviously the gaffer has to give me the chance and hopefully if he does, I can repay him,” Allan told BBC Scotland.
“I knew when I was coming here I
needed to be patient.

“I said it would be probably around this time that I would start making an impact if I added things to my game,” he added. “Obviously I got on in the last three games so I can try and get a start soon.”
