Frustrated defender Kristoffer Ajer has ordered his Celtic team mates to finish the season strongly after Neil Lennon's exit.
The Norwegian admits the entire club is 'hurting' after a difficult campaign that has seen their hopes of 10 In A Row end with the Hoops 18 points behind Rangers at the top of the table.
Lennon was replaced by John Kennedy and the interim gaffer won his first game in charge with a 1-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday afternoon.
Ajer made a series of goal saving challenges during the second half of the game and is now demanding Celtic end the season on form.
He told Celtic TV: "Obviously we are hurting with the performances this season.
"We haven't been good enough but we have to keep performing like Saturday, we have to show the togetherness we know we have in the group and we have to keep racking up the three points.
"It was a really tough game. Aberdeen have been difficult for us twice in a short period of time so it was good to get another three points.
"You have to give credit to Aberdeen, they tried to press us for the full game, they run a lot and they are a fit bunch of lads so it was another tough game but we knew it was going to be tough and we had to stick together and we did that."
