Carl Starfelt admits he’s been getting irritated lately.
The defender is fully aware that the big picture of winning games and performing at high levels are the only real markers that matter at Celtic. With 17 victories out of 18 top-flight games and the last 11 coming in succession, the correct numbers are adding up to keep Starfelt satisfied. But, for a defender, there always remains the extra incentive of the clean sheet. The final part of a complete day’s work.
Starfelt wants that feeling back. And confesses it’s annoying when he doesn’t get it. In the past seven days, the champions have recorded home wins over Livingston and St Johnstone. Yet, on both occasions, Starfelt and the backline have had to suck up the concession of a goal. With both games in the bag, keeper Joe Hart was forced to pick efforts from Livi’s Nicky Devlin and Saints’ Drey Wright out his own net.
