John Kennedy insists Celtic won't concede the title until it's mathematically impossible after the defending champions won their final game in hand.
The Hoops saw off Aberdeen 1-0 to go within 15 points of leaders Rangers, with David Turnbull's brilliant strike enough for three points.
The assistant boss gave his verdict to the media after Neil Lennon decided to take the night off following his side's fifth win on the bounce.
The win was Celtic's final game in hand and closed the gap to 15 points at the top.
If Rangers are victorious in their next four they'll be champions, but Kennedy isn't ready to throw in the towel.
He insisted: ""Listen, we don't concede anything until it's fully done.
"We know it's outwith our hands, we need favours elsewhere but we've just got to concentrate on the performances, which hopefully lead to results, and approach every game in that manner.
"The team are in a good position now in terms of how they're feeling about themselves, they've picked up a good run of wins which always helps confidence."
It was a dominant first half performance at Parkhead, but the hosts were made to suffer in the second half.
The assistant manager is taking the positives though, as a leaky defence ground out a clean sheet.
Kennedy said: "Second half we had to grind it out, first half we were really comfortable.
"We were very pleased when we went in at half-time, we'd have liked to be another goal up or so but in terms of the way we performed and the control we had of the game.
"We worked the ball into decent enough areas without maybe picking out that final pass or shot.
"But it was a great goal we scored, well worked all the way back from Scott Bain.
"We found David in a great area and then with the runs at the top end we gave him space to drive forward and get his shot off.
"A really worked well goal, and first half we felt very comfortable.
"Second half they were a bit more aggressive, and we probably just made some wrong decisions in terms of giving the ball away in areas we shouldn't.
"We lacked a little bit of penetration at the top end to stretch them, so there are things for us we can look at, fix, and be better at.
"But ultimately it was a really pleasing performance in the first half.
"Second half we know we can do better but the pleasing aspect was the way we finished the game when we had to defend.
"When it's 1-0 teams are always going to throw everything at it on set plays and crosses into the box but we stood really strong, we defended the box really well.
"We got lots of numbers in there and saw the game out, which was important for us.
"There are two sides to it, one is our attacking play in terms of how we controlled the game and secondly the area we've not been so good in this year.
"We can't shy away from that, in terms of our defensive game we've probably leaked too many goals, especially at set plays.
"But you saw second half that the boys were very aggressive in terms of how we defended.
"A couple of times we dropped deeper than we had to and allowed a bit of pressure in our box but you can certainly see them putting their head on things, blocking thing, and most importantly getting bodies around the box where you can recover balls."
Turnbull scored a fantastic long-range goal and Kennedy was full of praise for the midfielder.
He said: "We knew when we brought him in the ability he had and he fits how we want to play and the way we see the game.
"He's been terrific, he came in and spent a bit of time in terms of getting up to the speed of the training and how we worked.
"But since he's gone in he's been terrific for us, he's a really intelligent player with amazing technical ability.
"At times we ask him to know when to speed the game up, take fewer touches, his decision making in terms of when he gets his shot off.
"But today was a good example where he drove into space but close enough that it's in range and we know that's the type of range where he's got a decent finish on him.
"So really good goal for him, but also for the team."
