Killen knows Celtic is all about winning

New Celtic signing Chris Killen knows it's all about winning at Parkhead.

The New Zealand international striker told the Evening Times: "At some of the clubs I've been at in recent times, it has not been a massive problem. You win a game, you lose a game, you just get on and play.

"But the expectation and must-win feeling about the place here is great. It makes you a better player and stretches you as a person.

"It's expected you will win week in week out, and that is not something I've been used to. But it's better to have that if you want to develop, which I do."

Killen also wants to start his medal haul after narrowly missing out last season due to his serious injury. He explained: "I didn't get one from Hibs when they won the CIS Insurance Cup because I was injured by the time they got to the final.

"I didn't expect a medal, and it would not have felt right if they had given me one because I didn't play in the final.

"But it was still a great occasion at Hampden and I felt part of it having played in the earlier rounds. I was disappointed to miss out on the big day, but that is behind me now. I aim to make up for that now I am with Celtic."
