Scott Brown says Celtic remain focused on producing a strong end to their campaign as they aim to secure a historic domestic double treble.
The Celtic captain was instrumental once again in his side's derby victory over Rangers at Ibrox last weekend and Brown will hope to extend the club's unbeaten domestic run to six matches when they travel to Fir Park to face Motherwell on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football.
But Brown expects a tough test against Steve Robinson's side ahead of an international break.
"That is huge for us. Especially just before everyone breaks up for about 10 days. It will be great for us to get a win," Brown told Sky Sports.
"We know it is going to be a hard place for us. It has been in the past. The pitch is probably going to be one of the best in the league so it will help us too."
"They are set up really well and are hard to beat. They play a wee bit more direct than some of the other teams we have played against but it is to their strengths that they play.
"They have got two good strikers as well. They manage to hold the ball well and they have got runners as well. They are a good team but in our dressing room we have got pace, quality and great defenders."
Brown believes despite increased competition in the division, the team have fared well after last season's unbeaten campaign.
"The pitches probably haven't helped us so we have had to dig out more results," Brown said.
"We have still managed to do really well this season. It is going to be hard to do exactly the same as we did throughout last season. We have had some ups and downs but we have managed to bounce back really well."
Celtic are still in contention to claim a full complement of domestic silverware this season but with the prospect of another encounter against Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-final next month, Brown insists the side will take the remainder of the campaign on a game-by-game basis.
He said: "We just take it one game at a time - make sure we concentrate on the league and with the cup with do that as well and push on from there.
"Of course it would be [special] but if you start thinking about that it can start slowly drift away so you have got to make sure you work as hard as we do every day, enjoy each other's company and progress every day we come in."
