Brendan Rodgers is not thinking too seriously about Rangers chairman Dave King's claim that Celtic's dominance could collapse like "a pack of cards".
The Hoops secured their seventh successive title recently and are on course to achieve unprecedented back-to-back domestic trebles.
King on Monday announced a share issue to raise £6m in new money, less than a week after appointing Steven Gerrard as manager, and was quoted as saying: "We only need one league. We don't need two or three. Once we take one away, it's a pack of cards."
However, ahead of the Scottish Premiership match with Kilmarnock on Wednesday night, Celtic boss Rodgers said: "We're defined by what we do, not on anyone else. It is something I've always said: can we be the best that we can be?
"We do that by having a strategy off the pitch that allows us on the field to work with players, make them better, and hopefully win as many games as we can.
"We always respect every team but I am not one to be looking over the garden fence at anyone else.
"We have to be defined by what we do and I couldn't be happier with the way the club is developing and improving but we always have to be better.
"You always have to be aware of your competitors, you can't be naive enough to not understand and have a little think of what the others are doing, but it is not something that is at the forefront of my mind. My focus is very much on our club."
