McCourt ready for action
Celtic winger Paddy McCourt is relishing taking on Hibernian in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at the end of a difficult week which saw him sent bullets in the post.
Strathclyde Police are carrying out an investigation after a package containing bullets and addressed to McCourt at Celtic Park was discovered by Royal Mail workers in the east end of Glasgow on Tuesday.
Bullets sent to Niall McGinn and Celtic boss Neil Lennon last week were detected by postal workers in Mallusk, County Antrim. All three packages were posted in Northern Ireland.
Asked if the events of this week had impacted on him, McCourt replied: "No, not at all. There's no point in letting it get to you.
"You just have to try and get on with it and just enjoy it as best you can. I'm enjoying it at the minute and getting plenty of games - I just hope I can stay in the team.
"Hibs are under-achieving. They've got a good squad of players and I don't think anyone can put their finger on why they're so low in the league. But I'm sure they'll be going out on Saturday to put things right and put on a good performance. We'll be doing our utmost to put things right for ourselves on Saturday and pick up three points."
