McCourt driven to entertain
Paddy McCourt knows there is little else he can do to persuade Celtic boss Neil Lennon to give him a starting slot but keep delivering the sort of moments of magic he produced against Hearts.
A freak neck injury picked up when celebrating his winning goal at Inverness in the first Clydesdale Bank Premier League game of the season meant the winger has returned to the bench in recent weeks.
But, with Celtic leading through goals by James Forrest and Shaun Maloney, the substitute wrapped up a 3-0 victory in the dying seconds with a wonderful goal, dinking the ball over Marian Kello after a trademark solo run.
"Coming on and scoring goals won't do me any harm," the former Derry City winger said. "The competition in the wide areas and up front is really strong and it is driving everyone on.
"There are probably four or five strikers who think they should be playing every week and maybe three or four wingers as well.
"I'm sure when the manager sits down on a Friday or Saturday to pick the team he has a few headaches but that is better than struggling to pick 11 players.
