Killen looking for the backing of Bhoys fans

CELTIC striker Chris Killen is looking for the Hoops’ fans to return to Parkhead and spur them to victory in their crucial Champions League clash with Benfica next Tuesday.

Only 21,492 turned up at Celtic Park on Wednesday night to see Gordon Strachan’s side crash out of the CIS Insurance Cup quarter-final with a 2-0 defeat by Hearts.

After taking on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday lunchtime, Celtic will turn their attentions to Europe where they need three points against the Portuguese club to realistically keep their qualification hopes alive.
