Ange Postecoglou insists playing before Rangers hasn't factored into his thinking at all ahead of Celtic's clash with Ross County.
The Premiership leaders have a chance to open up a six point gap over their rivals - for 24 hours at least.
The Staggies' arrive at Parkhead before Rangers face off against Dundee on Sunday - giving Celtic the chance to throw down the gauntlet.
However, the Celtic Park boss gave any questions over looking across the Glasgow divide short shrift.
When asked how much of a motivation it would be to move six points clear, Postecoglou said bluntly: "Zero.
"I don't look at other fixtures and I don't look at other results.
"What concerns me is what we do. That's what we have done all year and that's what we will continue to do.
'What happens at the end of this round in terms of the wash up of points, or how the table looks, there is only one fixture we can control around that and that's ours.
"If we get our three points we know where we are going to be so it's for the others to fight out.
"But it has zero relevance to our mindset and what we are trying to achieve."
