Senior Celtic squad member Joe Hart has urged his teammates to focus on themselves ahead of the run-in.
The ‘keeper has been over the course several times before with the Hoops and already has added five medals to his cabinet since moving to Glasgow.
Before his retirement at the season’s end, Hart will want to secure a few more pieces of silverware.
Although the Hoops are still in the Scottish Cup and play in the semi-finals this Saturday, the league remains the key focus during the run-in.
It can be easy to get caught up in the emotion of a title race, but the veteran stopper has given his teammates a wise message.
He said: [Football Scotland] “What will it take in the remaining games? Just stay in our lane, stay focused. Drawing on the power of a club which is used to winning things and not being intimidated by that. Learning from that, with the boys who haven’t done it learning from the boys who have. Just encouraging people that we have some simple tasks ahead of us.
“We said it before the St Mirren game and we keep saying it, we don’t just rock up on Saturdays. We work really hard through the week to have a way of playing, to have solutions when people do make it tough for us.
“So we just need to rely on the hard work we have done all season and come good at the right time.”
The Bhoys have five Premiership games remaining before the season is out. Given they don’t play Rangers in the last matchday, they simply need to win their next four to be crowned champions.
The post-split fixtures are not expected to be announced until the end of this week which will come as a frustration but right now, the focus is on Aberdeen ahead of Brendan Rodgers’ first trip to Hampden since his return to Glasgow.
