Celtic were leapfrogged at the Scottish Premiership summit by Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
George Edmundson has revealed that he didn’t even know that Celtic had dropped points prior to Rangers’ demolition job on Sunday.
Steven Gerrard’s Gers side put Hamilton to the sword with a ruthless 5-0 win at Ibrox.
In doing so, Rangers moved two points above Celtic at the summit of the Scottish Premiership for the first time this season.
Earlier in the day, Neil Lennon’s troops suffered a shock 2-0 defeat away to Livingston.
Edmundson told The Scottish Sun: “To be honest, I didn’t know Celtic had dropped points until after our game. I just focus on Rangers, I’m not too fussed about what other teams are doing.
The Rangers defender’s words speak volumes here.
It’s all good and well claiming that you’re only focusing on the team that you play for, which is often said in the context of a title race, but actually doing it is another thing.
However, Edmundson’s claim that he didn’t even realise that Celtic had lost is testament to the fact that the Gers aren’t concerned with what the Bhoys do.
He and his Rangers team-mates only care about their own results and that’s exactly the type of mentality that they need if they are to deny their Old Firm rivals a ninth-straight Premiership title.
