GORDON: WE WON’T DWELL ON LAST TERM

-

CRAIG Gordon reckons Celtic need to forget about last season’s “Invincible­s” campaign and focus on creating history all over again.

The Hoops racked up an incredible 47-game unbeaten run against Scottish opposition as they completed the domestic treble.

And t he big question facing Brendan Rodgers’ side as they prepare for the new term boils down to whether they can repeat that astonishin­g feat.

But Gordon reckons his side need t o start t his season with a fresh set of objectives as they chase a seventh straight Scottish league crown and a place in the Champions League.

Asked if his side could go another campaign without loss, the Parkhead goalkeeper said: “That’s in the history books now, we’ve achieved that.

“Now we’ve got to have the mindset of starting again. This is a new season.

“Everyone will always remember what we did last term, but it’s up to us to go out and put a marker down for this one.

“We’ll start off by doing that i n t he pre-season games then go and try to qualify for the Champions League.”

Celtic kick-off their quest for the group stages against either Northern Irish champions Linfield or San Marino’s La Fiorita.

Gordon added. “Whoever we get, it’s going to be a tricky tie and we need to make sure our preparatio­ns are right.”
