balanced — but if you have 18 teams then the team I was at, Santos Laguna, the ranking of the budget there was about 11th or 12th,’ says Caixinha.

‘It’s not always a question of budgets. It’s a question of how you organise a club — and everyone working in the right direction, taking care of the history and tradition and culture of the club, and the winning mentality that you want to create.

‘We don’t care about what the others are doing or not. We just know in which direction we are heading and we know that we are heading in that direction together.’

When Celtic were lashing five goals past Kazakh champions Astana, Caixinha was watching Olympiakos play Rijeka instead. Thinking less about how much money he has to spend in the final weeks of the transfer window than how he should spend it.

‘I didn’t watch Celtic,’ he insists. ‘I just know the result.

‘It’s not my concern, having more money or less money.

‘If you have more money, supposedly you might get better players, that’s the way it is.

‘But you need to spend it wisely. It’s not only about budgets in football.

‘Budgets are important — but it’s not always about budgets.

‘I am very happy with the team we have and the effort we are putting in together as a club, from top to bottom. From the chairman, from the board of

of the analysis after the match. ‘But I cannot control what the other players from the opposition teams are doing. I can just control mine. ‘I hope that mine have that focus because one of the points we have definitely is to finish all the matches with 11.’ Reacting to a melee of tussling players from both sides, referee Beaton gave Jack a straight red card for motioning his head towards Hibernian striker Anthony Stokes. However, the former Aberdeen midfielder, who had been grabbed by the throat by the unpunished Stokes seconds earlier, has now won a reprieve. And he is free to face Hearts in tomorrow’s Premiership clash in Govan after a glut of successful appeals placed Scottish referees under fresh scrutiny. The Tynecastle club also managed to reverse the dismissal of striker Isma Goncalves, who was sent off for violent conduct alongside Kilmarnock’s Kirk Broadfoot in their 1-0 victory at Rugby Park last weekend. After the Killie defender hauled him to the ground, Goncalves’ arm went back towards Broadfoot but Hearts successfully argued that there was no intent by the Portuguese star. Meanwhile, Motherwell defender Charles Dunne had one of two red cards received inside a week overturned. He was one of three Fir Park players sent off by Craig Thomson in the Steelmen’s 4-1 defeat to St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. Dunne’s red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity was withdrawn after television pictures appeared to show there was no contact. But his sending-off against Ross County in the Betfred Cup days earlier was upheld. Dunne is free to face Ross County at home in the Premiership tomorrow but will miss the Betfred Cup quarter-final against Aberdeen next month. Motherwell nonetheless failed with a bid to reverse the dismissal of goalkeeper Trevor Carson during last Saturday’s game in Perth after he handled the ball marginally outside his area. He will remain on the sidelines alongside skipper Carl Hugh, who was sent off earlier in the match. Referees Beaton and Thomson will now drop down to officiate Championship games this weekend, following deep unhappiness over their handling of the games at Ibrox and McDiarmid Park.
