Focused Leigh Griffiths aims to keep his scoring run going all the way into the group stage of the Champions League.
The former Hibs striker scored both of the goals in the 2-1 win over Olimpija Ljubljana less than a week away from facing Lincoln Red Imps in the Champions League.
Olimpija are potential third round opponents for Brendan Rodgers side with Griffiths pleased with the way his pre-season work has gone.
“It’s all about fitness at this point in the season and we will get on to the real stuff next week,” last season’s 40 goal marksman told Celtic TV. ”It was good to go and get the other win and, while it was disappointing not to get another clean sheet, it was good to get a couple of goals.
“The first goal got stuck on my foot and the defender tried to anticipate me going back, but I managed to get it out my feet and hit the target and it managed to creep in. For the second one, I had a little bit more space as Stefan and Moussa made great runs and it’s opened up and I managed to hit the target and score again.
“We knew they were champions and we could come up against them if they progress in the Champions League qualifiers, but we had to take care of business, go and get the win and now we will look forward to Saturday (against Maribor) and hopefully we can get another victory.
“The pre-season goals don’t count so hopefully I can get off the mark next week and it would be good to get the Champions League campaign off to a flyer.”
