Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has been speaking before his side face St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Here are the main points:
Colby Donovan has a hamstring problem so will miss this weekend and potentially next week but O'Neill hopes the right-back won't miss too much longer.
Alistair Johnston trained with the team on Friday and while the manager wouldn't put a timeline on his return he insists "we'd need him as soon as possible" adding "next week would hopefully be a good week's training for him and then who knows".
O'Neill found out on Friday that right-back Julian Araujo re-injured himself at Bournemouth and admits "I don't think we'll see him for the rest of the season".
On St Mirren, the 74-year-old believes the Buddies will "be pretty confident about coming to our place" after "two really important wins".
On the title race, O'Neill "would rather be in Hearts' position at the moment but it could go any way".
When it comes to the pressure of the title race, O'Neill feels "as if we've got players capable of dealing with it" but does not believe previous league wins, that have often come with a big points margin, will be of much help as this season goes down to the wire.
O'Neill wouldn't be drawn in on suggestions of an exciting, and potentially title-deciding, final day home game against Hearts and stresses "that's a long way off for us, that's not what I would be thinking about", adding: "I think Rangers would have a big part to play in proceedings."
The Northern Irishman acknowledges the "boost" offered by the return of the Green Brigade for Celtic's remaining home games and says: "I would like to park things now and see what the summer brings."
"The support we got in Dundee was really fantastic and I thought they kept us going," O'Neill adds and says, "in terms of vocal support, it's great to see them back again".
On how goal difference could impact where the title goes, O'Neill says, "it's too late for us" to claw back the goals gap on Hearts and Rangers and the boss admits: "I'd just be delighted to win the games."
O'Neill also wouldn't discuss next week's Scottish Cup semi-final with St Mirren and stresses "tomorrow is everything for us".
On the importance of Kelechi Iheanacho, O'Neill says of the striker: "He's come through the injuries and wants to do the work. If he could stay fit, it would be great news."
