Riordan raring to hit Hoops' hopes

15 May 2009 11:40
Riordan, who spent a miserable two years at Parkhead before returning to Hibs this summer, scored the opener in Wednesday night's 1-1 draw with Rangers at Easter Road. The strike allowed Celtic to stay top of the table on goal difference going into the final two games of the season. Riordan insists he does not care which of the Old Firm wins the title and, despite Hibs having little to play for this weekend, is determined to score a victory against his former club. He told his club's official website: "Celtic and Rangers are battling for the league so obviously there is more pressure on them than us. "But it doesn't interest me about other clubs - I'm happy as long as I'm playing well and scoring goals for my team. "It doesn't make a difference to Hibernian if Celtic win the league or not. We will be going out to win the game on Sunday." Riordan believes his partnership with Steven Fletcher can be the undoing of Celtic on Sunday after the pair combined for his goal against Rangers. He said: "Steven and I have a great understanding up front. "In terms of movement and passing, I read his game well and he reads mine well. "Obviously, I played with Garry O'Connor in the past and I think our partnership is up there with that one. I really enjoy playing alongside Fletch."
