Ivor Pandur insists Rangers are not focusing on the consequences of winning or losing their Scottish Premiership derby with Celtic on Sunday as they look to repeat the level they showed when the teams met last weekend.
The Ibrox side dominated at home as they ran out comprehensive 3-0 winners over Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final, with Martin O'Neill's side defeated again midweek by Ferencvaros in the Europa League.
Rangers currently trail last season's champions by five points, with Celtic holding a 100% league record as they look to defend their title.
When asked whether they considered the outcomes of potentially moving within two points of Celtic or dropping eight behind, goalkeeper Pandur replied: "Not really. I think we just need to focus on what we can do."
That means concentrating on carrying out the gameplan and manager Derek McInnes' instructions.
"I think we did a really good job [in the win over Celtic]," Pandur said. "Obviously we had a week to prepare to see what we can improve and do better, but the performance was good and we just want to do the same."
Rangers enjoyed the backing of exclusive home support, with no away fans at the cup meeting, and the roles are reversed on Sunday.
"You just focus on the game," Pandur said. "The noise outside, everything, you need to shut it out and focus only on the pitch.
