Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has batted suggestions coming up short against Motherwell will give his side an extra edge against Rangers.
The Parkhead boss admitted his champions elect were below their lofty standards but doesn't believe the pedestrian display against the Steelmen will give them added motivation in the Scottish Cup semi final on Saturday – insisting their desire to succeed is already in–built within his whole squad.
Postecoglou hasn't tasted defeat to Rangers since last season's Scottish Cup semi and Celtic punters are keenly aware seeing off Michael Beale's men will put them in prime position for a fifth Treble over the past seven seasons. But the Australian is adamant the weekend draw has been left behind ahead of the visit to the national stadium.
