DEFEATS DRIVE ME UP POLE

CELTIC keeper Artur Boruc is not one for dwelling in the past.

The 3-0 defeat in Lisbon is already gone from his mind and all his concentration is on beating Hearts today to put the Hoops 13 points clear of their nearest rivals.

Boruc said: "I don't want to remember the last game, even if it was a win. It's not important.

"The most important thing is always the next game and that's what I always try to stay focused on.

"We have to remember that it's still the beginning of the season and so far we have played just 12 games. It will be a really important game but it is not the main thing from the whole league

"We still have to win every game we play, not just this one.

"There will be a lot of pressure in this game and I like that. I hope that we will handle it.

"Definitely we are a better team than Hearts but you never know what's going to happen in a game.

"We just want to remain focused on ourselves.

"We have to do our job and no matter what team is behind us, like Hearts or Rangers, we have to stay positive and think that we will be all right."

Boruc has not enjoyed his best form in recent games, letting in soft goals at Tannadice and Rugby Park.

He admitted: "I always believe I can do better.

"You always have a few games where you are really lucky and you feel that you will save everything.

"But when you're a keeper you have to have luck. And sometimes you have to make your own."
