Misun hoping for Hoops chance

20 July 2010 09:05
Czech defender Milan Misun is determined to make the breakthrough at Celtic this season after impressing during pre-season.[LNB] Misun was included in Neil Lennon's squad for the Hoops' trip to America and has started two of their three games so far.[LNB]The centre-half hopes his recent success is a sign of things to come, having struggled to make an impact at Parkhead since his arrival in January 2009.[LNB]Injuries have hampered his cause during that time, but Misun believes he is now ready to make his mark at the SPL giants.[LNB]"I was thinking that if they have taken me to the States, they might be counting on my services," he told chovanecsport.cz.[LNB]"I only hope that things will not take the same path as in last season. Then I travelled with the team to a pre-season camp in Australia and ruptured my knee ligament. I had to start from the scratch. Hopefully, it will be better this time." [LNB]The 20-year-old accepts that there is plenty of competition for places at the heart of Lennon's defence this season, but sees no reason why he cannot become a mainstay in the starting XI.[LNB]He added: "I think everyone in the team has the same chance to get into the starting XI. [LNB]"In the position of centre-back, where they want me to play, there are five of us. The Dutch pair (Glenn) Loovens and (Jos) Hooiveld, then two lads of about my age - Norwegian (Thomas) Rogne and Englishman (Josh) Thompson. But he did not make it into the squad playing in the States. [LNB]"My priority is to impress, to get myself into the first team, to play and show my potential."
