Kris Commons keen to make up for lost time at Celtic I just want to put one foot in front of the other and try to gradually get back to where I was. Hopefully, I can do that in these coming weeks. Certainly, in the off-season I thought I was going to come back and pick up from where I left off. But I've had these little niggly injuries, and perhaps the competition within the squad, rotating quite a bit, hasn't been ideal for me. I came to Celtic at this time last year and, hopefully, I can return to that level. If I can get the fitness levels, particularly the match-fitness levels, up to where they were last year then I'd have no hesitation in saying I'll start scoring goals again. I was a pretty unknown quantity when I first came here. Not many people knew about me. For me it was about proving a point and working extra hard to try and make people notice. Earlier in the season, Commons turned up at the club's training ground in an attempt to ridicule rumours that he and Lennon had been involved in an altercation. The dark murmurings persist but the player flatly denies that he and the manager don't see eye-to-eye. "There was a stupid rumour went round that me and the gaffer had a bust up and I just tried to take the Mickey out of it really," he said. It's just comedy. I don't know where it came from: probably two drunken guys on the booze thinking "That might've happened." There are so many social networking sites nowadays - Twitter, Facebook - and people see my name and Neil's name and all of a sudden we're fighting on the training ground. Lennon claimed to have rejected a bid for Commons from an unknown English club but this came as news to the latter. "I have no idea," he said. I'm concentrating on trying to get fit enough to play for Celtic. If the manager's said that then fair enough but it's not something I want to comment on. Asked whether he wished to stay at the club, Commons replied: "Of course, 100 per cent." Celtic could certainly do with the prolific scorer who arrived a year ago rather than the pale imitation they have fleetingly witnessed this season. An in-form Commons would have helped to bury Dundee United long before the final whistle on Saturday, when the league leaders found themselves hanging on for all three points. Hooper had given them the lead with a clinical finish after fine work from Thomas Rogne and Anthony Stokes. The home side were utterly dominant and the impressive Victor Wanyama doubled their advantage before half-time with a header from Izaguirre's cross. Yet when John Rankin pulled one back with a superb strike from 35 yards, Celtic became nervous where they had previously been assured and they were beholden to goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who prevented an equaliser by throwing himself to his left to keep out a header from United striker Jon Daly. "I got a good contact on what was another good ball from Paul Dixon but Forster has made a very good save, which is why he's one of the best goalkeepers in the league," said the Irishman. We were a lot better in the second half. We pressed the ball high up the park and didn't let them have the ball. I think we gave them too much respect in the first half and that's why we found ourselves 2-0 down. After that we just went for it and we were unlucky not to take something from the game. There was a nervousness about them when it went to 2-1. The crowd here wants to see them steamroller teams so once we got a goal back every pass that went astray got the fans on their backs and that gave us confidence.
