Hooper-man out to score again

Gary Hooper knows what it takes to score against the Old rivals and wants to do it again tonight. Gary Hooper is looking for a hat-trick of scoring goals over three games against Rangers in their Scottish Cup fifth-round replay at Parkhead. The former Scunthorpe player scored in the 3-1 defeat at the same venue last October and then notched a double last week in the 3-0 home win over the Ibrox men. Hooper is keen to keep on the goal trail and believes getting into the next round, where they would face Inverness away, will help Celtic get over Sunday's 2-0 defeat by Motherwell at Fir Park which dented their title  hopes. Speaking yesterday during final preparations for the game, Hooper said: "You've got to aim to score in every game. But the main thing is getting the result and picking up the performance from the other day at Motherwell. It was a bad day at the office, a bad performance and nothing went for us but there are no excuses. It's gone now and we have an important game tomorrow. You can't win every game. But we have to make it up to the fans and we have to start again with an unbeaten run."
