Catch us if you can, says Flood
Ibrox manager Walter Smith claimed Sunday's stalemate at Parkhead benefited his side more because the final Old Firm derby of the season is a home game for the Light Blues.[LNB]But, with Celtic maintaining their two-point advantage at the summit of the Scottish Premier League table, Flood believes the championship is very much in Celtic's own hands.[LNB]He said: "I think a draw is still a decent result for us. It is up to them to catch us and if we keep picking up points then the league will be ours.[LNB]"But, overall, I would have to say a draw was probably a fair result."[LNB]The famous fixture saw Flood make his Celtic debut following his January transfer from Cardiff.[LNB]And, despite impressing already in the SPL while on loan at Dundee United, he admits he was shocked to be thrown into the action in such an important game.[LNB]He told the Evening Times: "I was very surprised to be told I was starting.[LNB]"When the manager told me I was like, 'yeah, are you serious?'[LNB]"He told me to just go out and do what I had been doing for Dundee United for the last two seasons.[LNB]"It has been a long time coming but it was good to get my debut over with and hopefully now you will see the real Willo Flood.[LNB]"The first 20 minutes was intense and it was a bit faster than I had anticipated.[LNB]"Celtic is a huge club and the derby game is one of the biggest in the world, but you don't think about that when you're out there.[LNB]"All you are thinking about is trying to play well and do your best for the team. I think my debut went okay."[LNB][LNB]
