Jason Denayer pleased with goalscoring run

Celtic defender Jason Denayer admits that he did not expect to be scoring regularly for the Scottish champions during his loan spell this season.

Jason Denayer has admitted that he did not expect to be scoring goals regularly during his loan spell with Celtic this season.

The defender netted his sixth goal of the season in the team's 3-0 win over Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership yesterday afternoon.

The 19-year-old, who is on loan from Manchester City, told the club's official website: "We won three of the four games against Dundee United and I've scored two goals so I'm happy this week.

"When I arrived here I didn't expect to score so I'm happy to be doing it. I'll try to score 10, maybe more, I hope. I've never scored a back-heel, though. That's my first.

"It was an important win because it was a good chance to take more points and make a difference against Aberdeen."

The win leaves Celtic five points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the table.
