Patrick Roberts ready to make Celtic contribution

By Darren Plant, Senior Reporter | 27 March 2018

Celtic midfielder Patrick Roberts says that he is ready to make a contribution for the Scottish giants, having spent a lengthy period on the sidelines.

Celtic midfielder Patrick Roberts has suggested that he feels ready to feature in each of the club's remaining fixtures this season.

Roberts has endured a frustrating campaign in Glasgow, with the playmaker spending a number of months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

However, the Manchester City loanee made his return before the international break and has hinted that he is desperate to make a contribution before the end of the campaign.

The 21-year-old told Celtic View: "Some of the lads coming back might need rested and that gives me a chance to start and get some more game-time in. We still have good training sessions here and then we can have the chance to go back home and see family before coming back again.

"You can be more refreshed. Going away with your respective country is always good, but at the same time it can be tiring with all the travel.

"As the end of the season approaches a lot of the boys will be tired. They've played nearly every game this season. That can fatigue you a lot but credit to them and the staff here because they're sharp and getting the job done each week."

Roberts has made just 10 starts and three substitute appearances this season.
