STEFAN JOHANSEN is looking forward to a hat-trick of silverware this season – starting with the League Cup on Sunday.

The Celtic midfielder, who was named as February’s Player of the Month after scoring four goals in seven games, hopes to add another medal to his collection after the Hampden showdown with Dundee United.

Johansen won the SPFL league title last season less than four months after signing for the club and following his championship success in Norway with Stromsgodset.

He admits the League Cup Final is huge for boss Ronny Deila and their attempts to complete a clean sweep. He said: “We are a club who wants to win trophies and I came here to win trophies.

“The first chance we have this season is on Sunday, so we need to make sure we are ready for that one and go out there and try to win it.

“The manager has been clear with us and in the media, as well. We want to go out and win the treble this year. Now we have a chance to take the first trophy.

“We know the League Cup Final is earlier than the other ones, so it’s a very important game for us. If we go out there and win it then it gives us more confidence to win the two others.”
