Celtic are eyeing a successive domestic treble.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has warned rivals Rangers that his side are fully focused on winning their upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final and going on to complete a successive domestic treble, Sky Sports report.
With the Scottish Premiership title all-but wrapped up for the Hoops, attentions will soon turn to their Scottish Cup semi-final clash with Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden Park.
Gers know how significant their upcoming clash with Celtic will be, and it represents a chance to finally beat Brendan Rodgers’ side and put the first block in place in their bid to stop the Hoops’ domestic dominance.
The former Liverpool manager, however, claims his side are brimming with confidence and warns his rivals that his players really have the bit between their teeth ahead of the season run-in.
“It is a real exciting period for us. The players are back and I can see it in their eyes. We are in a great position in the league, in a cup semi-final and a wonderful opportunity to again re-write the history books,” Rodgers told Sky Sports.
Celtic’s recent encounter with Rangers ended in victory as the Hoops triumphed 3-2 at Ibrox despite twice falling behind and playing the final 30 minutes with only 10 men.
Rangers have yet to beat Celtic when Rodgers has been at the helm, although their performance levels in the last two Old Firm derbies were encouraging, and they matched the Scottish champions for long spells.
