Ange Postecoglou insists Rangers game won't matter if Celtic take their eye off the ball against Hibs

Ange Postecoglou is adamant Celtic have full focus on Hibs and dealing with the edgy Easter Road atmosphere.

The Parkhead boss, who is set to make Japanese midfielder Tomoki Iwata, left, his third capture of the winter transfer window, takes his team to Leith tomorrow night aiming to extend their Premiership winning run to 12 games. Understandably, the minds of supporters will drift beyond the clash in the capital towards the top-of-the-table showdown against Rangers at Ibrox on Monday.

But Postecoglou’s team have been adept at keeping their eye firmly on the immediate tasks in hand and the concentrated boss says it’s pointless to do anything else. He said: “You can’t because, if you don’t have the right performance and result against Hibs, then what does it matter what the game after is? You are going to be disappointed. So, like I said last week, our focus is always on what is next.
