ANGE POSTECOGLOU shut down a question on Rangers as he issued a blunt response on his mindset at Celtic.
The Parkhead boss leads his side against Ross County tomorrow with the chance to move six points clear at the top before Rangers play Dundee on Sunday.
And Postecoglou was quizzed on whether moving six points in-front of Rangers provides an added incentive for him or his players and whether it's something he'll mention to his players.
But the Celtic boss wasted no time in stating he has "zero" interest in the Rangers results with his focus fully on matters at Parkhead.
Asked on the 'added incentive' of playing first, he said: "Zero. I don't look at other fixtures and I don't look at other results.
"What concerns me is what we do. That's what we've done all year and that's what we'll continue to do.
"You know what happens at the end of this round, in terms of the points and how the table looks, well there's only one fixture we can control and that's ours.
"If we get our three points then we know what we're going to be and it's for the others to find their points.
"But it has zero relevance to our mindset and what we're trying to achieve."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
