“We’ve had games where we’ve created more chances than on that day and we haven’t capitalised.

'I’ve no doubt, they’ve had a bit of change since then and they will come here and make it difficult and we have to be ready for it.'

“Our form has been very strong and if we continue that then we’re hard to stop.

“We’ve had a disappointing result against St Mirren, but our performances aside from that have been really strong and we just need to continue that until the break.

“We have three important games and two are at home, we’ve only had five homes games so far, so we’ve navigated that well.”

Cameron Carter-Vickers was back in training after missing the last game with Real Madrid and the manager confirmed there have been no other injury concerns from the Champions League tie.

The game at the Bernabeu was the toughest of tests against the reigning European champions, buy Celtic also demonstrated a real commitment to their attacking philosophy and scoring a well-deserved goal on the night.

And the manager explained that belief it’s the most crucial part of the team furthering their progress this season and beyond.

He added: “That’s the most important part because no matter the football philosophy I have, ultimately people believe in people, not ideas.

'I’ve tried to make that the cornerstone of my coaching, the staff, the football club, and the supporters, get them to believe in me as a person and what I’m saying is genuine.'

“The only way you can accomplish what we’re trying to do is for people to have total buy-in.

“For me, it’s the cornerstone of what we’re trying to do because if people don’t trust me, then even the best ideas will get done.”
