Celtic - Aalborg BK: the main chance to win


He may have started the season in fine form, scoring five in three starts, but as Georgios Samaras explained he is taking nothing for granted ahead of tomorrow night’s UEFA Champions League meeting with Aalborg.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference at Celtic Park, the 23-year-old said that he would not be disappointed or surprised if Gordon Strachan turned to last season’s proven partnership of Scott McDonald and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink for the opening group game.

Samaras instead explained that he will be ready and willing to his job ‘for the team’, regardless of whether or not he is handed a starting berth.

“It’s up to the Gaffer to decide whether or not I play,” he commented.” If I am in the first 11 or if I am a substitute, I am ready to help my team and my team-mates.

“I think what Scott and Jan did last year, scoring over 50 goals, is something unbelievable.
