HOOPER PICKS UP DOUBLE AWARDS

Gary Hooper won two awards representing Celtic, which has made the young striker even more exciting. The last time Gary Hooper won a championship he had to settle for a lap of honour around the pitch because he wasn't old enough to drink champagne.

Now the Celtic striker hopes the corks will be popping as he chases a clutch of honours that will make this campaign the best of his life.

Hooper, 23, picked up a double nomination yesterday for the Cheque Centre PFA player and young player of the year as he bids to become the first SPL star since Aiden McGeady to win both.

HOOPER ENJOYING CELTIC LIFE

Gary Hooper has said that he is enjoying with playing in Celtic. The Parkhead striker believes Neil Lennon’s side have taken a great deal of heart from their performance the last time the two clubs clashed.

Despite being reduced to 10 men in the first-half at Ibrox, when goalkeeper Fraser Forster was sent packing for bringing down Steven Naismith, Celtic emerged with a 2-2 draw.

And Hooper says the way they managed to dominate Rangers with a man less is fresh in the Celtic players’ minds as they prepare for this weekend’s SPL encounter.
