Celtic go into tomorrow night’s midweek game against Aberdeen with a renewed spirit that wasn’t there 45 minutes into the derby at Ibrox on Sunday. The sea change in the team’s outlook was stirred by a headed goal by none other than Kieran Tierney who paved the way for the Hoops turning the game around and altering the whole post-match mindset for players and supporters alike. The Dons are next on the horizon for the Celts who gathered at Lennoxtown today after resting up on Monday. Tierney said: “Today has been positive. “We watched the game back, both halves because it was really a game of both halves, we saw where we could improve, do better at the start of the game, but also the determination and the character, and the quality that we showed in the second half.” With a clutch of teams involved in the title run-in, it’s a case of every team trying to win very game, but the defender insists this is always the case with Celtic as habitual title-winners. He added: “It’s massive, but regardless of the situation, every week the game matters for Celtic. ‘We play at a club where the pressure is so high and demanding, that every game matters.’ “So, it’s not new to us. Maybe the situation is, with three or four different teams going for it, but the pressure of playing for Celtic is not new to us. “Experience in a title run is a massive thing, and we’ve got our captain, Cal who’s been in and won so many trophies, James Forrest as well and boys that have been there in the past. “So, it’s amazing to have guys like that in the changing room, and even the manager as well, who has been involved, it’s brilliant for us and I hope it helps. “You just can’t rely on resilience and character, we need to show that we can play as well and go and beat teams. “I think that’s what we need to work on in these next few games as well, just doing both of those things.” Watch the full video with KT below:More on the game Martin O’Neill: Our focus is on winning at Pittodrie:
