Albian Ajeti was delighted to play his part in Celtic’s impressive victory over St Mirren on Wednesday night, the team’s third win in a row and their second consecutive 4-0 away win.

Neil Lennon’s side are rediscovering the form that has previously served them so well, and the Swiss striker is pleased to be back to fitness and back in the team.

He has been involved in the past five games, with a place in the starting XI for the three wins, and he netted his sixth goal of the season and the first since the end of September in last week’s 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

“I’m very happy that I could be back playing again with the team and I’m happy we got the win again,” Ajeti said. “I think we’re in good form right now and I’m always happy when I can play and help the team.

'I’ve been back for the last few games now, I’m feeling good, we’re having success and this is what matters, and the goals will come again.'

“We take it game by game, and there are still quite a few games to go. We’re in good form right now, we’re going to build on that and we’re going to keep going with that, push forward, play as a team and try to win the games.”

As well as being delighted to be in the team, and with three wins to boast of, Ajeti is also relieved that he avoided a ban after he was cited for simulation during the game at Rugby Park.

Had he been found guilty, he would have missed Wednesday night’s trip to Paisley and this weekend’s game against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. Instead, he took his place in the starting XI as the Hoops produced a strong performance to beat St Mirren.

“I was a bit surprised because I didn’t know the process or how it worked here, but I’m glad that I could play and I didn’t get the two-game ban,” he said.

“It’s going well for us. We’re winning games and playing good football, and I’m always happy when I can play and even more happy when we succeed as a team. This is, for me, the most important thing.

“We know that we’ve got the quality and the team spirit, and this makes us stronger. We’ve found a really good team spirit and we want to keep building on that. Sometimes the games are hard, but we accept that and we’re trying to win and we’ve been successful in the last three games.”
