Calm Ange Postecoglou refused to make a fuss of Celtic opening up an early Premiership advantage over Rangers.
The reigning champions were made to graft for a 2-0 victory over a much-changed Hearts side on Sunday but goals in either half from Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis ensured they ended the weekend two points clear of their Ibrox rivals.
Nine-man Rangers slipped up at Easter Road on Saturday and Celtic didn't miss their chance to capitalise with the sides due to meet for the first time this season in two weeks' time. But Postecoglou insists he's only focusing on Celtic's performances over any early league standings. He told BBC Sportsound: "For me it's as much about the performances and in all the games we've been in control for the most part. There are still areas we need to improve and we'll keep working towards that. We've had some challenging games so far and we've handled the different challenges well."
