Robson meanwhile has warned Celtic’s rivals that his team are firing on all cylinders and deserve more credit for their Champions League performances than has been given.

He also laughed off claims that striker Scott McDonald was overweight pointing out that his scoring record spoke for itself.

“I thought we were outstanding all over the pitch against Hamilton and that it was a comfortable win” he said.

“We are looking good and it bares well that the strikers are scoring so frequently. We have been playing pretty good stuff recently, including in Europe where we haven’t got the credit we deserve, and have got the momentum going.

“Samaras is a great player for us this season and Scott has scored 31 goals since he arrived. People say he looks heavy but he’s a strong wee guy and a top player who works hard. No one here has got any problems with him. 

“The international break won’t bother us here as we will all come back after Scotland flying high and ready to continue working hard.”
