NO STRAIN ON BHOYS

PATRICK ROBERTS insists Celtic will never be weighed down by their Invincibles tag.

Brendan Rodgers’s side can make it 59 domestic games unbeaten in today’s Premiership clash with Dundee. The champions haven’t lost in 14 months on the home front since the manager took over.

Roberts said: “Does the unbeaten run bring pressure? I don’t really think so. Right now we don’t really think about it. We just go out there to try to get the three points.

“Nothing else really comes into our heads, about being unbeaten or anything like that. We just try not to lose. That’s down to us and our mentality. We’ve got that right now and we’ll have it for a while.

“We will keep going in training and in games, working the same way and showing the same focus which is instilled by the manager.

“The desire to win is huge here. We love that buzz of winning and not wanting to lose is the most important thing.

“You saw that in the way we got the draw against Hibs last time out and we could even have nicked the win in the end.

“Just not losing is our mentality right now.”

Hibs were within 11 minutes of smashing the record a fortnight ago but Celtic again fought back and Roberts added: “That comes down to our fitness. The coaches here work us hard on our fitness off the ball. We keep going to the end.

“We made a few substitutions, which we can do. We have quality off the bench. When teams get tired we can really go at them and try to get the win.”
