Celtic striker Georgios Samaras is still harbouring hopes of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy being delivered by helicopter to Parkhead on the last day of the season.
The Greece international was on the scoresheet at Celtic Park on Tuesday night as the champions went back top of the SPL with a 2-1 win over Dundee United.
Samaras said: "We can handle the pressure. We believe in ourselves, we believe in our team and we believe that we will get two wins in the last two games and see where the helicopter is going to land at the last game. I hope it's Celtic Park."
He added: "The mentality is to fight until the end of the season and wait on a mistake from Rangers.
"It is not in our hands but what we wanted to do, and we started against United, was to take three wins. That is our target."
United boss Craig Levein is likely to land in trouble with the SFA following his scathing criticism of Stuart Dougal after the referee refused to allow his injury-prone defender Wilkie treatment following a clash with Scott McDonald.
Levein told the media that Dougal would have received a "punch in the face" if his behaviour towards the United boss had been replicated in a pub.
"He lost his composure, stuck his finger in my face and told me to shut up," the United boss said. "It wasn't acceptable.
"In all my time in football, no other referee has ever done that.
"I have lost all respect for him after the way he spoke to me. If it happened in the pub on a Saturday night to any of you guys, the guy would have got a punch in the face."

Craig - withdraw your application to become a diplomat! LOL! Perhaps you would be better to keep your counsel, and report Stuart Dougal to the Referee Committee and the SPL. Maybe then, they will investigate the refs instead of hammering you with a huge fine!
