Ex-Celtic loan player Junior Adamu has promised to score goals in the Bundesliga for new club Schalke this season....despite drawing a blank in the Scottish Premiership.

The Austrian moved to Schalke this summer from Freiburg after a loan spell at Parkhead last season.

But although Adamu did net a key equaliser against Dundee in the Scottish Cup deep into injury time to prevent Celtic from being eliminated, he failed to score in the league at all.

He made just two league starts in Glasgow, but insists he can make a big impact with the newly-promoted Bundesliga side.

He said: "It's a really great feeling to be at such a big club.

"I'm a player who can make runs in behind, I am dangerous in the box and I can score goals,

"We had so many fans turn out just to see us training there.

"I decided to join Schalke because the club is a good fit for me. I have worked with manager Miron Muslic before too and everything worked out well.

"Being here gives me goosebumps."
