Celtic still have "levels to go" warns captain Callum McGregor, as they gear up for the first derby clash of the season.
Ange Postecoglou 's side travel to face Rangers on Sunday with the two sides level on points, and confidence is high.
Following a disastrous season in 2020-21, Celtic have recorded back-to-back 6-0 Premiership wins under their new manager and are well placed in Europe.
And their skipper feels the best is yet to come as he shrugged off the derby frenzy.
McGregor told Sky Sports : "We are not thinking about what was said in the summer, what has been said now.
"We will let everyone else talk about the (Rangers) game.
"Our focus is building something special here, the manager speaks about it every day.
"We just want to get better. We try and make the supporters proud of what we are doing. We know that we have still got levels to go.
"It has obviously settled down very, very quickly in terms of the manager getting his ideas across to the players and the players actually carrying it out.
"It has probably been sped up in that sense but there was always belief certainly within the dressing room and within the building that we could things going pretty quickly.
"Given the nature of football, you have to produce results and performances quickly - so we knew that pressure was on."
