Brendan Rodgers has insisted the title race is "nowhere near done" despite a significant lead over both Aberdeen and Rangers.

Celtic claimed a 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to seven points. 

Rodgers' side also have a game in hand over closest rivals Aberdeen, while they are 11 points clear of Rangers with both clubs having played 14 times this term.

Despite the healthy lead in the title race, Rodgers has insisted there is no thought of the league crown being wrapped up already, even if some supporters have written off challengers.

"Well, there's 38 games so it's nowhere near done," Rodgers told BBC Sportsound.

"We're just over maybe a third of the season so...no, I understand people will look at it that way but for us there is such a long way to go.

"This is a really busy period for us, we are trying to maximise the squad, get through the games, play well and keep looking to our next game. 

"There is no thought of that in our mind but the players have started the season in a brilliant fashion and we just want to keep it going."

Asked whether the task now was to keep players focused and not become complacent, Rodgers added: "It's not the challenge. Of course, you have to stay on top of it but our culture is very much winning.

"We know we have to work hard in our training and in our games and the players are doing that."
