The spotlight has been on their rivals recently after a couple of slip-ups but the Parkhead gaffer isn't getting carried away.

Their position at the top of the table has been strengthened by Rangers picking up just one point from a possible six in two games in hand they had over their rivals and Philippe Clement’s Light Blues, also in semi-final action against Hearts on Sunday, have won just two games out of eight in all competitions. And from feeling the heat himself at times this season, the focus has switched to his rival.
