Celtic still have winning mentality, despite defeat in Old Firm derby against Rangers, insists Thomas Rogne One suggestion that has gained currency is that the consequence of Rangers going into administration - the automatic 10-point deduction that put Celtic home-free in the league campaign - effectively blunted the competitive edge that saw the Parkhead side unbeaten in domestic fixtures from the start of October until the upset inflicted by Kilmarnock at Hampden Park. "I don't know - maybe," said Rogne. I hope that's not what's happened with us. We just want to get back to winning ways and look forward again. There's been a lot of talk about the treble and the title and winning at Ibrox and all that sort of thing but what we want to do is win the next game and then what happens, happens. If we win the league I think that's all that matters, really. At the end of the season that's all you think about - did you win the league or not? As to the players" mentality, Rogne declined to be drawn into a discussion about the temperament of the dressing room when Tony Mowbray was in charge but willingly testified to the transformation wrought by Lennon. That's one of the things the manager wanted to change when he came in. The group was a bit down but he changed out mentality and he changed our character. I think we have a very strong dressing room," he said. We were 15 points behind and somehow we managed to be 18 points in front, so something's happened there and I don't think you have a weak mentality if you manage to do that. Celtic could be crowned champions this weekend if they beat St Johnstone at home on Sunday, provided Rangers shed points the previous day in their encounter with Motherwell at Fir Park - and both games will be screened live on ESPN. Rangers have found the Lanarkshire ground productive and last lost there on Boxing Day 2002. Stevie Hammell, the Motherwell full-back has more cause than most to want the record to become past history rather than continuing torment, because he is the only player still on the Fir Park books who was in the Steelmen's starting XI that day. I still can't believe it. Every time we play Rangers this stat seems to come up so hopefully we can put it to bed soon," said Hammell. Whatever the consequences might be for Celtic, a Motherwell victory would put Stuart McCall's team back level with Rangers on points, although there is no prospect of that if they produce the sort of performance that saw them lose 2-0 to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park at the weekend. "Last Saturday was one of our worst performances of the season," Hammell conceded. We have not had many low points this season but Saturday certainly was one of them. I don't know what it was - whether it was just the circumstances around the game with Killie winning the League Cup and Liam Kelly losing his dad - all the emotions at Rugby Park - but we were going there to win the game, there was no denying that. We have watched the game again and we were poor. Unless Rangers miraculously exit administration by Saturday they will be excluded from Europe next season and Motherwell will almost certainly take their place in the Champions League qualifiers, but second place would earn them another £900,000, which might avert the sale of a player or two for an outfit run on a modest budget. There is no way the club would be budgeting for that kind of money. We are being run excellently just now and if we could get that second spot, the financial benefits for a club like us would be massive.
