Stephen McManus has warned his Celtic team-mates they need to cure their travel sickness if they are to claim a fourth straight Clydesdale Bank Premier League title.

The Hoops have managed only one win on their travels since the turn of the year, a run which has allowed Rangers to stay in touch at the top of the table.

Skipper McManus said: "We've not been able to put our finger on it, but we have not been able to pick up as many points as we would have liked away from home. To be honest, we've not picked up as many points as we should have done."

He added: "People raise their game for games against us and it's up to us to respond by raising the bar even higher.

"We always give everything in everything we do, no matter what we do.

"That's why we are at this club. You have a desire to be successful and be the best that you possibly can, for your family, for the supporters, for the manager, for each other, for everybody connected with the club.

"We know exactly how important this is. There is a league title at stake and it doesn't get any bigger in your career than winning this.

"From the start of the season, we have given our all and I can guarantee that in this final push we will be giving 100% in everything we do because we want to win as many things as we possibly can as a group."
