Roberts happy to swerve England duty to help Celtic's European cause
The on-loan Man City attacker forfeited the chance to play with England's U19s this summer.
Patrick Roberts expressed his willingness to sidestep England duty to help Celtic make the group stages of the Champions League.
The on-loan Manchester City attacker gave up the chance to play for England's Under-19s at this summer's European Championships, instead choosing to play Champions League qualifiers for the Hoops.
Roberts was left on the bench for the 1-0 first leg defeat to Lincoln Red Imps, but he started - and scored - in Wednesday night's 3-0 return leg victory over the team from Gibraltar.
The 19-year-old has no regrets over the decision he made, reiterating his commitment to helping Celtic make it through the qualifiers.
"They [England] are out there in Germany playing and I wanted to play in the Champions League which has always been my dream," he said.
"I respect the manager, he has to do what he can do for Celtic. I will always be there, I will always be happy and wanting to play.
"The manager has a lot of players and chooses the team. I am always ready and waiting to play.
"I enjoy playing football and have done since I was a kid and when I get out there I try to do my best for the team.
"I have always believed in my ability and always want to play at the highest level. I will give 100 per cent to do that."
