If I really feel that I justify being in the side and I am playing and scoring for Celtic I will say what I feel. I have never been one to just turn up and be a part of the furniture.

When you are playing with good players, it doesn't matter if they are Argentinian, German, Welsh or whatever. Good players can join in and understand their team-mates on the pitch. In most of our games, you can't hear what the other lads are saying anyway, because of the noise of the crowd. I'm sure Shunsuke will want to learn English so he can enjoy the other lads' company, but there are so many Japanese people here watching him that he isn't going to be lonely.

We're playing the system well right now. It's just a matter of scoring goals.

I was pleased with the way we played at Celtic Park,

I hope my body holds up, I still have another 18 months left on my contract at Celtic and I have had a decent start with eight goals already in 10 games so I will just keep going.

To get 50 caps you have to go through highs and lows - and I certainly had a few - it has never been rosy but to be still here, as well as enjoying good times at Celtic is very pleasing.
