“It’s something when you’re coming through that you don’t think about. Sometimes people try and ask you what’s your favourite but there have been that many good ones over the years.
“You want to make it into the first team, you want to play as many games as you can and win trophies and be part of such a successful team. It’s a team game, but personal accolades are nice as well. It’s just been a small part of the success over the years with Celtic.
“You see all the names there and the amount of great players that have played for this club, it’s unbelievable. I’ve played here so many times and I’m still enjoying it as much as ever. I’m just going to keep working hard to be here as long as I can.
