Celtic striker Chris Killen wants to earn a new contract at Parkhead after ending his goal drought.
New Zealand international determined to prove critics wrong
Celtic striker Chris Killen is determined to earn a new contract at Parkhead after ending an almost two-year goal drought.
The New Zealand international netted in competitive action for the first time in 23 months when scoring in Sunday's win over Hearts.
Killen, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is now aiming to alter the minds of his critics and earn extended terms with Celtic.
"It's not in my nature to give up. Some players might have chucked it under the circumstances I was going through, but not me," he said in the
Daily Record.
"My contract expires at the end of the season, but I won't be shouting about wanting a new deal.
"I need to earn a new agreement. That means I need game time and goals for Celtic. I'd love to stay because it's brilliant being at a club this size."
He added: "You get written off and fans rule you out for the future, but I'm in the background working my way towards making a fresh impression."
