Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is targeting Scottish Cup glory but warns even if the trophy is lifted it will mean NOTHING for next season.
The Ibrox club have cruised to the Premiership title this season, wrapping it up by March as they remain unbeaten.
There's still the chance of a domestic double, with Rangers taking on St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup quarter-final on Sunday.
But, asked if lifting the final trophy of the season could give his side momentum for next term, the manager shrugged off the suggestion.
Gerrard said: "I don’t think there is any such thing — from one season to the next.
“You look at last season when it was cut short and we were all frustrated.
“Everyone was pulling their hair out that we didn’t get a chance to finish the season.
"Then we are told in lockdown we need to come back in small groups, that the rules are going to change, and the world is going to change.
“We reacted to that very well and benefited from it. We can finish the season really strong or it can go the other way.
“But I don’t think it will have an effect on how we perform in the first game of the season.
“A manager will always want momentum and consistency from good players.
"For me, it will be about shutting this season away — whatever happens — and getting a rest, physically and mentality.
“Recharge, reset and go again. I’m looking forward to that, but before then there are some really important games.”
And while it's been an intense campaign fighting on four fronts, Gerrard is confident his players have what it takes to see it over the line.
As he prepared to face St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup quarter-final he said: "I don’t think anyone could ever question our fitness. We have always been a really fit team.
“I understand people questioning our consistency at times. Certainly in cup competitions we have been stung at important times.
“The semi-final in year one and Hearts away in year two. So it’s important we remain hungry and consistent.
"We have four weeks left of the season and hopefully that will be six more games.”
