"We've been very, very successful but it's because of hard work. There's no shortcut. The reason why we've been successful is because we're willing to fight and stick together and be a team. It's time for everyone to step up a level. I've still got no doubt that we're a good team and it will click. We just have to click maybe quicker than what it looks like at the minute."
"We have to [win both games]. That's a challenge for the players and we'll speak about it. Ultimately, we have to do our talking on the pitch. It's alright me coming out and talking, anyone else coming out and talking but we have to start showing why we're a good team and we can be the team that goes on to be the champions."
Celtic sit five points behind Hearts following a 2-0 defeat at Dundee and a run of sloppy performances combined with fan criticism over board ambition. Captain Callum McGregor stresses that past success came through hard work, unity and fighting together, and urges the squad to raise standards and click faster. Celtic face consecutive must-win matches: a Europa League home tie with Sturm Graz and a top-of-the-table Premiership clash at Hearts. Celtic were knocked out of the Champions League by Kairat Almaty, remain without a Europa League win, and face a Sturm side that beat Rangers in Europe.
