Little eyes second Old Firm chance
The Northern Ireland international, 20, made his first senior start at right-back in the 2-1 win over the Hoops at Ibrox in October but injured a hamstring early in the game and had to be replaced by Nacho Novo after only 14 minutes.[LNB]A six-week spell on the sidelines followed but, after making the bench in recent weeks, the utility player got back into action as a second-half substitute for Kris Boyd in Wednesday night's Scottish Premier League clash with Dundee United.[LNB]Little entered the fray after Boyd netted five goals in the 7-1 win to break Henrik Larsson's SPL scoring record.[LNB]With Madjid Bougherra away on international duty with Algeria, Sasa Papac struggling to shrug off an illness and Kenny Miller suspended, there could be an opening for Little to make another surprise appearance but he is simply glad to be back in contention again.[LNB]"I enjoyed getting on against Dundee United," he said.[LNB]"I had been out for six weeks with the hamstring injury picked up against Celtic and after being on the bench in recent weeks, it was good to get back.[LNB]"I was devastated having to come off against Celtic.[LNB]"I got my big chance after coming on as a substitute against Aberdeen the week before.[LNB]"But what was a great experience turned into a nightmare when I had to come off.[LNB]"The chance was taken out of my hands and it was a big setback for me.[LNB]"But it's great to be back in the fold, and it's great being on the bench in recent weeks.[LNB]"However, I can't see myself starting against Celtic this time.[LNB]"The team are on fire at the moment and there are other players coming back, like Steven Whittaker, who are ahead of me.[LNB]"But you never know, and even to be on the bench at Celtic Park would be a new experience for me.[LNB]"I played there before in a reserve game but the atmosphere will be a lot different on Sunday."[LNB][LNB]
