Thomas Rogne urges focus ahead of Old Firm clash

Rogne urges title focus

Thomas Rogne has claimed that Celtic must not become distracted by the possibility of winning the Scottish Premier League title against Rangers this weekend.

Celtic could secure the title at Ibrox on Sunday should Motherwell fail to beat Kilmarnock on the previous day.

However, Rogne believes that the team must concentrate on the Old Firm clash before allowing thoughts of winning the title to take over.

The Norwegian defender told the club's website: "It's a big game and if we win there will be a lot of feelings involved, and if we win the league as well they will be even greater.

"At the time, we just have to think of it as a normal game, though. It will be 11 versus 11, two sets of goals, and basically we just have to win the game."

Rangers are facing a fourth consecutive home loss should they lose to their rivals this weekend.
