Forgotten Celtic loan defender Gustaf Lagerbielke admits he's frustrated after failing to start a single league game for Twente Enschede so far.
The Swedish stopper was shipped out on loan earlier this season after starting just four league games for the Hoops since his £3 million move from Elfsborg last year.
But he's yet to start a game in the Eredivisie for Twente since his move.
However, he came on as a sub in their last game for injured defender Mees Hilgers and could now be set for a chance to impress.
Lagerbielke said: "Of course I have been frustrated because I want to play for Twente since my loan move from Celtic.
"But I have had to accept, the team are playing well and the guys in my position have been excellent.
"Waiting for your chance is the hardest thing as a footballer, but that's how it works. When the chance comes, I have to be ready.
"So it was good to get on and play the second half against Willem II.
"It was a battle and it felt like a Scottish League match at the end because it was tough."

The centre-back added: "I'm a defender who likes to play football, but also I don't shy away from a fight. Sometimes you have to play dirty to get that clean sheet and we managed that.
"I am enjoying it here and learning Dutch, but it seems like a mix of ten languages at once. It's the first time I've been in a country where I don't understand the language."
