Scott McDonald hopes to put the pain of his Europa League misses behind him when Celtic return to Clydesdale Bank Premier League duty at Falkirk on Sunday.

The striker was twice thwarted by Frank Rost in the first half of the goalless draw against Hamburg in the Nordbank Arena on Thursday night when he should have scored.

And he McDonald hopes to get back on the domestic goal trail against the Bairns, saying: "I am looking forward to getting the boots back on for Sunday and hopefully putting a few in the net - that's if I play."

He addded: "You just never know what's coming, that's just the way it is at the moment.

"Everyone is fighting for a place and there is good competition.

"Marc-Antoine Fortune is back as well so you don't know what the manager is thinking.

"But we have to turn up at Falkirk and have the right attitude.

"Falkirk are a good footballing team and they will make things very difficult for us.

"So it is up to us to show professionalism and get the win."
