Talk is already building to the Celtic v Rangers clash at the end of the month.
Murty was speaking at his press conference this week when he was asked if Rangers can remain unbeaten ahead of the match with Celtic at the end of the month.
The manager responded by saying that regardless of upcoming opponents, Rangers should be aiming to stay unbeaten anyway.
He insisted that Rangers face many potential pitfalls before facing Celtic, and can’t afford to get ahead of themselves.
He told The Telegraph: “This is Rangers – we should be looking at that anyway.
“We are trying make sure we take care of one marker at a time. If we get carried away and start looking at Celtic Park, I have got no doubt there are opponents before that that will be looking to trip us up.
“We have to deal with Hibs’ intensity, their level of play, because they have got some good players. They have been successful this season and we have to make sure we are fully prepared for that.
“Then, if we get closer to Celtic, great, but let’s make sure we focus on our process and our game first. Let’s not worry about Celtic, let’s concern ourselves with us.”
Rangers face a tricky test against Hibernian tonight, as they bid to try and make it four wins in a row.
They then face St Johnstone and Kilmarnock before Christmas, followed by a trip to Motherwell.
The trip to Celtic comes at the end of that tricky run, and perhaps if they can avoid defeat over the next four games, belief will begin to build that they can inflict defeat on Brendan Rodgers’ side.
