Now, their attention turns to this weekend’s huge game against the Hoops. The Parkhead side are six points ahead of their rivals - a win would almost guarentee them the title, while Rangers will hope to reduce the gap to three points.

“Our focus is now on Celtic, we will recover and prepare for the game on Sunday,” van Bronckhorst said. “The belief is there, we will go there to get a good result.
