Seridan wants to come back

Cillian Sheridan knows how to score goals against Rangers and hopes he will be given the chance when his loan period with St Johnstone comes to an end and he returns to Parkhead. He is keen to leave the Perth side on a high by helping them into the top sic for the post split games. The 21-year-old Irishman made his first-team debut for the Hoops against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in February 2007 but has spent loan spells Motherwell, Plymouth and now St Johnstone. He has contributed four goals to Derek McInnes’ cause since he was recruited in January - the latest in last week's 4-1 win over Rangers at McDiarmid Park. He hope he has done enough to merit an extended run in the team to deliver more goals before he reports back to Celtic Park in pre-season.

Sheridan said:  “It's been a mixed season for me. It was a slow first half to the season but things are picking up. It's been a while since I put together a run of consecutive games so that's what I am looking to do. St Johnstone are an attack-minded team and being a striker all you are looking for is chances and if they are created then that is always going to help you. I've still got another year on my contract at Celtic so between now and the end of the season is important. I will report back in pre-season and see what happens. It will be a fresh start for me, as it will be for the rest of the players if there is a new manager or if it is still Neil Lennon. If Neil does keep the job then I'm sure everyone will have to impress again.”
