Philippe Clement insists he was unfazed by Celtic's draw at Aberdeen ahead of Rangers' game against Livingston.
The champions dropped points in the Premiership title race at lunchtime as Dons caretaker Peter Leven guided the Reds to a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie.
Rangers did their bit to heap more pressure on the Hoops by cruising past Premiership strugglers Livingston.
Fabio Silva, Rabbi Matondo and Todd Cantwell scored as the Ibrox club won 3-0 to close the gap at the summit of the table to just three points. Of course, Clement's team boasts a game in hand too.
Speaking to BBC post-match, the Belgian was adamant he was not paying attention to the results of other teams.
"I'm not busy with Celtic or other teams," the 49-year-old said. "I am only busy with winning games. I will be busy with the ranking at the end of the season - the last two or three games.
"We need to focus on ourselves. When you start to focus on others and how they are playing you lose focus on yourself. I see a team growing month by month, and playing more of the football I want to see.
"We are not there yet, we are not at our maximum. We have new signings to integrate as well which will be very interesting. I don't want my players to be thinking of other things.
"I want momentum, but I want it all season. The word momentum - moment is there. I want consistency, this level all season and to raise our level. I don't want momentum I want consistency."
