CELTIC defender Jack Hendry shrugged off the disappointment of Saturday’s 1-0 Premiership defeat by Hearts to gear up for Champions League progress.
Kyle Lafferty’s second-half volley in a fierce battle at Tynecastle proved enough to keep the points in Gorgie.
The result was far from the boost boss Brendan Rodgers was looking for ahead of the second leg of their third qualifier against AEK Athens tomorrow night, following the 1-1 draw at Parkhead last Wednesday.
However, following a “bitterly disappointing” result Hendry remained upbeat ahead of the trip to Greece.
“Yes, the full focus is on that now,” the 23-year-old said.
“We have to go over there and do a job and the lads believe we are more than capable of doing that so full focus on that and making sure we get through to the next round.
“I thought we were the better team by far during the week so if we can implement that over there, I am sure that we will go there and do the job, but it obviously means going there and doing it.”
