Lewis Morgan has told the Glasgow Evening Times that his time at Celtic has been difficult so far, as he wants to play more often.

Morgan joined Celtic in January last year, but he has made just two appearances for the Bhoys.

Morgan was loaned straight back to St Mirren after signing last term, and injury has curtailed his progress this time around.

The attacker picked up a problem in the early stages of the season, after he had started in Celtic’s first qualifying round in the Champions League.

Morgan has since had to watch on as his Celtic teammates have struggled in the league.

And the 21-year-old, who did make his comeback from injury last weekend, said: “I’m no different watching the boys – I want to play. It’s been difficult but I am where I am now. I’m fit and I want to push myself.”

Morgan came off the bench for Celtic against Kilmarnock, but he was unable to stop them from falling to defeat.

The Bhoys are next in action later this evening against St. Johnstone in the Scottish League Cup, and Morgan could feature again in the contest.
