Celtic captain Scott Brown has urged his side to keep up their impressive momentum until the end of the season, despite claiming the Scottish Premiership title on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers' side thrashed Hearts 5-0 at Tynecastle to secure their sixth consecutive title, but Brown is targeting a domestic treble as the Hoops look to add the Scottish Cup to their league and League Cup success.
First they will have to get past Rangers in the semi-final, live on Sky Sports on April 23, while they also aim to go the season unbeaten, having won 28 and drawn two of their matches to date.
"We have eight league games to go and we need to concentrate on that," he said.
"We have done fantastic all season. We have won the League Cup [Betfred Cup] as well and we need to push on and try to get the Scottish Cup and keep the unbeaten run going as long as we can."
"That is why I am still here. I enjoy playing, winning trophies and that is why I want to stay here.
"It is amazing for all the lads. For myself, to be here for so long to win seven out of 10 seasons has been great but we want to continue to push on."
Brown also praised the influence of Rodgers, who has rebuilt confidence in the squad since taking over from Ronny Deila in May 2016.
"He has made Lennoxtown [training complex] a better place and we are getting a new pitch at Celtic Park, so he has got ambition here and he wants to get into the Champions League next year again," Brown added.
"He is always pushing boundaries and he wants people to improve their game. His training is hard, it is great tempo and it is enjoyable and you are learning every day.
"It is not just turning up for a wee game of five-a-side here and there and you are finished by 12 o'clock.
"It is proper, non-stop and he wants everyone to be a 24/7 athlete. I am still learning now, I am 31, 32 in the summer and I feel as fit as I have ever been."
