Marc Crosas has vowed to make the most of his latest chance to cement a first-team place at Celtic.

Spanish midfielder Crosas has endured a stop-start career at Parkhead but has found himself back in the team in the past week due to an injury to Scott Brown.

"Every footballer wants to play and this season has been difficult for me at times," Crosas told Celtic View.

"I have just been trying to work hard every day on the training ground with my team-mates and also to take my opportunities on the pitch and try and do my best.

"That's what I have tried to do against Hearts and Kilmarnock, although I can't say I was happy about the Hearts game last week because we lost and we're out of the cup.

"Personally, I think I have done quite well. It's not easy when you are not getting games and then you start a game you are not at your best, but that's why I have to keep working every day in training and try to keep my chin up.

"It's not that I have to make an impact when I do play. It's just that I have to try and show the manager, the staff and the fans my kind of game and what I can give to the team.

"It's not like I have to go out and score a hat-trick, because that's not my work. I have to go out and do my best in all my games and do my job."
