Goals Boost For Scepovic

Photo by Jeff Holmes Stefan Scepovic has revealed two goals in two games has at last made him feel an integral part of the Celtic set-up. The 24-year-old Serbia international struck for the first time since his £2.3million summer move from Sporting Gijon against Astra Giurgiu in last Thursday's 2-1 Europa League win over the Romanian outfit. It was a huge relief for the player after six previous goalless appearance which had failed to impress the fans and he followed it up with a goal in the 2-0 home Premiership win over Kilmarnock on Sunday. Ahead of Wednesday's League Cup quarter-final clash with Partick Thistle at Parkhead, Scepovic spoke about the difference a couple of goals had made to him. "I feel very good," he said. "It is important as a striker to score goals but the most important thing is that we won the games and we need to continue like this. "I said when I came that it would take time to adapt to the football here and the manager and everyone at the club has helped me. "You just need to believe in yourself, train hard every session and be ready when you get the chance. "I always believed in myself and of course when you score goals it is more easier to get confidence and be in the group. "Not just because of the goals but you get more confidence." For the first time this season manager Ronny Deila paired Scepovic with Swedish striker John Guidetti in a two-man attack in an orthodox 4-4-2 system against Kilmarnock, and was rewarded with both players scoring as the Hoops moved up to fourth place in the table with a game in hand. Scepovic, speaking at the club's Lennoxtown training complex where he was helping to publicise Celtic FC Foundation's £10,000 donation to its Christmas Appeal, insists he will play in whatever role is required. He said: "John is a good player and we did well in the game but it is the manager's decision if we play with one striker or two. "It is also good to have good competition. "We are here to help each other, to work for the team and do what the manager asks from us." Scepovic comes across as a completely different character from the more open and effervescent Guidetti who is on loan from Manchester City and who has scored five goals in seven games. However, he shares the Swede's ambition with regards the possibility of capturing the quadruple of three domestic trophies and the Europa League this season. "It is possible, why not?" said Scepovic. "Everything is possible. "We are at a big club and we need to believe in our team-mates and everybody who works at the club. "But we have to think about the next game which is tomorrow. "Every game is important and it will not be easy. We will need to be at it 100 percent."
