Celtic goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska was satisfied with his personal impact in his debut season at Parkhead - but is desperate for some silverware.[LNB] The Pole started 17 matches after joining fellow Polish goalkeeper and former Legia Warsaw team-mate Artur Boruc following his Bosman move from Dundee United.[LNB]The 27-year-old, who will line up for Celtic in their friendly against St Pauli in Germany, now wants to become first-choice keeper and make up for a barren season on the trophy front.[LNB]Zaluska told the club's website: "From a personal angle it has been a good season because I played 17 games, I played in Europe and was also involved in some important games in the league.[LNB]"I hope we're going to win something next season though.[LNB]"I'm sure we will win something and I also hope I'll be playing more games at the same time.[LNB]"But Artur is a legend here and that's why it's very difficult for me to play regularly.[LNB]"I'll have to wait and see what's happening next season but I know I'm ready to be number one.[LNB]"Nobody wants to be second keeper and that's why I work so hard every day."[LNB]Celtic will have a strong squad in Germany featuring every fit player who is not on international duty.[LNB]And Zaluska is eager for action in the match that helps marks the Hamburg club's centenary, despite the fact that most Scottish-based players are now on holiday.[LNB]"I want to play as often as possible and Tuesday night is no different," he said.[LNB]"But I think this game is not so much for us as a team of players but for the supporters.[LNB]"There is a good connection between the two clubs and I'm sure the fans will enjoy it. I hope there will be a good atmosphere and a full stadium."
