Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou watched his side win 4-0 to keep their quadruple dream alive - then told his players they're NOWHERE NEAR the standards he expects.
A stunning strike from Liam Scales put the hosts ahead early on against Raith Rovers, but the first half display was lethargic.
Celtic ramped things up after the break and goals from Giorgos Giakoumakis, Daizen Maeda and Nir Bitton saw them cruise into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.
But their manager was left far from impressed with the first 45 minutes and warned his stars they can't afford to rest on their laurels.
Postecoglou told Premier Sports: "First half was pretty poor, obviously when I'm making so many changes it's going to affect the rhythm of the team and the cohesion but even within that I thought we weren't great first half.
"We didn't really work hard enough, didn't move the ball quick enough, second half obviously was a lot better and it was good to get through to the next round.
"It's not about taking opportunities (for the players who came in), it's not like they're going to be banished into some unknown place after today.
"It's just that we've got certain standards about how hard we want to work and the kind of football we want to play, how quickly we want to move the ball.
"I just thought the first half we were taking too many touches, we weren't working hard enough off the ball and, while we were comfortable, that's not what I want us to be. I don't want us to be comfortable.
"I think the subs made an impact, which is important, obviously that's what you're looking for.
"We had some players who have been playing well to come off the bench and they approached it in the right manner in the limited time they had, they come on and made an impact.
"It was good for our attacking players to get some goals."
Celtic went through an extensive rebuild in the summer, as well as bringing in a manager with a very specific style of play.
Despite that they've already won the Premier Sports Cup, are top of the Premiership and in the hunt for four trophies this season.
However, when asked if his side are exceeding his expectations Postecoglou was quick to shut that down.
He replied: "They're nowhere near my expectations.
"As we saw in the first half today we've still got a lot of work to do.
"That's not taking away from the players' efforts for quite a long time, the last three months our performances have been consistent and our results have been excellent - particularly since the break it's been outstanding what this group has been able to achieve.
"But my role now is to make sure that they realise their potential. I think there's more there and we need to keep pushing."
