Vennegoor keen to stay on

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is desperate to secure a new contract with Celtic. The Netherlands striker has doubled his goalscoring tally for the season in the last week with strikes against Hamilton and Falkirk.

The 30-year-old now wants to claim his fifth successive league championship medal after winning two each with PSV Eindhoven and Celtic. The Dutchman, expected to face Hearts this lunchtime and whose contract expires at the end of the campaign said: "I want to be involved in this club because, if you play for champions every year, in the Champions League, and play in front of 60,000 people, I don't think you want to change that."
