Patrick Roberts has admitted that it is a great time to be involved with Celtic, especially as the club are involved in a tight title race with Aberdeen.
The Hoops, who signed Roberts from Manchester City on an 18-month loan deal in January, presently find themselves three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, having played one game fewer than second-placed Aberdeen.
The Dons lost momentum in the title race after losing 3-1 at Inverness CT on Monday, and Ronny Deila’s team can make their game in hand count to increase their lead at the top if they manage to claim a positive result against the Jags on Saturday.
And Roberts, who insisted that he is relishing the pressure of the title race, however, wants Celtic to only think about themselves and not worry about Aberdeen.
“Yes, it gives you a bit more pressure”, he said on Celtic TV, when asked if he is enjoying the title race.

“I know they lost so we’re relaxed a little bit.
“But you’ve to step up every week and perform, you can’t worry about them.
“They’ll will do what they have to do, we’ll do what we have to do.
“And that’s puts a bit of pressure in the dressing room which is good.”
Celtic, who have lost just three times in the league this season, defeated Ross County 2-0 last weekend.
