The former Scunthorpe player scored in the 3-1 defeat by the Light Blues at Celtic Park last October and then notched a double last week in the 3-0 home win over the Ibrox men.

Hooper, 23, is keen to keep on the goal trail and believes progression through to the next round where they would face Inverness away will help Celtic get over Sunday`s 2-0 defeat by Motherwell at Fir Park which dented their Clydesdale Bank Premier League hopes.

"You've got to aim to score in every game," he said.

"But the main thing is getting the result and picking up the performance from the other day at Motherwell.

"It was a bad day at the office, a bad performance and nothing went for us but there are no excuses.

"It's gone now and we have an important game tomorrow.

"You can't win every game.

"But we have to make it up to the fans and we have to start again with an unbeaten run."
