Derek McInnes’s obsession with Celtic increases as the gap closes Obsessed Derek McInnes has once again referenced Celtic while speaking to the media, following a difficult weekend for his side… The Tynecastle outfit slipped up against relegation-threatened Kilmarnock, a result that allowed Celtic to close the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table. The Hoops’ 3-1 victory over Motherwell on the same day leaves Martin O’Neill’s side just two points behind the current league leaders. Despite the pressure mounting, McInnes appeared keen to maintain an underdog mentality ahead of Hearts’ upcoming clash with Dundee.

He said via BBC Scotland : “ I think when you look at the teams round about us, out the last five games, we’ve won three out of five, I think Celtic have won three, Motherwell have won three, I think Rangers are two out of five.
“So nobody is really catching fire and winning the games. I think it shows you the difficulty for so many teams. Because you’re playing teams, like we played Kilmarnock, who are fighting for their lives.
And it showed in their performance. “I know that a lot can be made of our performance, but you’ve also got to credit the opposition. So every game has brought difficulties and challenges.
Constantly fighting, being the underdog is something that’s played a big part in us. “We’re up against two heavyweights. The teams in Glasgow who’ve got so many obvious advantages over us.
