Maloney welcomes Celtic pressure

Shaun Maloney admits he's happy to be back at Celtic - and enjoying the pressure that comes with playing for the Hoops. The former Aston Villa attacker said: "I think that pressure is starting to come now at Villa. The first few months I was there it was Martin O'Neill's first season and the pressure wasn't quite there but that's started to change.

"At Celtic and Rangers it's always there - you've got to perform and if not you're going to get criticised for it and I don't have a problem with that. I was happy with the Falkirk game, but I think I could have played a lot better in the second half of the Rangers game, but I'll improve the more games I play. The Celtic team is as good as I've seen and there are a lot of Scottish players so it has been enjoyable."
