Adam Idah has revealed he didn't watch Rangers in Europa League action against Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the Premier Sports Cup final.
The Celtic striker, 23, opted against tuning in to the match at Ibrox instead pouring his concentration and efforts on himself and Celtic.
"No, I didn't see the game," he said of the 1-1 draw. "Obviously I've seen the results.
"They've been doing well recently. It'll be a tough game for us.
"I think they're always going to be tough. I think this game is a big occasion.
"Regardless of what team is coming, I think everyone knows this is a massive game.
"They've been doing well recently, but so have we. We've been doing great. It'll be a good challenge, so I'm looking forward to it. "

Idah's decision not to study Rangers in midweek is not in the slightest one stemming from arrogance, overconfidence or complacency.
Rather, the Celtic striker is the first to recognise the level of challenge his side will face, but he is equally aware of the improvement within the Parkhead ranks.
"I think we've improved a lot," said the striker on the difference from the Scottish Cup final last season.
"There's a lot of new boys that have come in. I think everyone can see the way we've started this season has being excellent.
"We've improved quite a bit and we're still striving to do better. Like I said, we're a really good group and I think we're doing quite well.
"The game's not finished yet. We want to get the job done first. It'll be exciting for us.
"It's obviously what we want to go and do and get as many trophies at the end of the season as we can. It'll be a big, big job for us. It'll be a good start for us to go on throughout the season."
