Ki keeps focus on title bid

Ki Sung-yueng is looking forward to focusing all his attention this season on helping Celtic regain the Scottish Premier League title. The South Korea midfielder, 22, had last season's domestic campaign disrupted by the Asian Cup which took place in January.However, a more relaxed international calendar in the forthcoming months means Ki can target a long run in the Celtic engine room and he hopes to build on his performance and goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over Hibernian at Easter Road."I went to the Asian Cup last year so I was really tired and I was away at other times so it was confusing," he said."This season I have nothing, apart from a World Cup qualifier and that's no problem."I just want to play like Sunday and help the team win the league, that is the priority."I will try to score as many goals as I can this season and I am practising my shooting in every training session."Last season I got four goals, I want to score more than six this season."We have kept the players and we know each other really well. It was just the first game but there is a good feeling."The Hoops never looked like losing after former Easter Road striker Anthony Stokes opened the scoring with a well taken close-range strike in the 14th minute following a mistake from Hibs keeper Graham Stack, who fumbled a Kris Commons' free-kick.Ki then capped a fine performance with a low drive just after the hour mark to seal the points.Stack made some amends when he saved Gary Hooper's penalty in the 68th minute but there was never any danger of a late Hibees' revival.Celtic boss Neil Lennon, who praised defender Kelvin Wilson for his performance on his SPL debut, could afford to make a joke about yet another missed penalty.He said: "I'm going to sign Matt Le Tissier and bring him back because it seems to be an Achilles heel for us at the minute."With Commons coming off, we decided to let Gary take a penalty if we got one but he is telling me it was a world-class save."But if we had gone 3-0 up it would have been very comfortable at that stage of the game."They do practise them but it is difficult to replicate a match situation."Hibs manager Colin Calderwood struggled to take positives from the game."The disappointing thing is that we want to be lot closer to try to get points off Celtic and we weren't that close," he said."We didn't have to give them the start we gave them."We made some wrong choices in the second half but the experience will come."Some of the things we did in the first half was okay."
