WHEN Liverpool were ruling the roost in England, Jurgen Klopp labelled his players as "mentality monsters".
And it wasn't just a throwaway soundbite.
It's a state of mind which separates the good from the great. A trigger switch which means they are no longer simply satisfied with the feeling of winning trophies.
Rather, they become terrified of how it might feel if they do not.
Ironically, it was this same, almost irrational fear of losing which Walter Smith used to credit for driving him on from one success to the next during his two glittering stints in charge of Rangers.
And now that mindset has settled on the east side of Glasgow, as Celtic's extended period of domestic dominance moves on towards its next phase.

For at least one of them, though, the experience all felt very new.
Liam Scales may have been around the club for some time, looking on from the fringes of various celebrations over the last three years. But without ever being convinced that he belonged to be there.
