Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has hit back at Steven Gerrard's claims that overconfidence blew Liverpool's 2014 title tilt.
New Rangers manager Gerrard wrote in his autobiography that Liverpool's gung-ho approach "played into Chelsea's hands".
But speaking to The Times, Rodgers stated: "I don't think I was more or less confident.
"We'd won 11 on the bounce. You want to go in with confidence.
"The Chelsea game we played really well but it's just unfortunate it [the slip, with Demba Ba scoring] happens right before half-time.
"We could have drawn but they score again at the death. It wasn't pressure or anything like that. The last 14 games we won 12, drew one, lost one."
