Scott McDonald will not bank on Celtic's impressive SPL form playing any part in ending their Champions League away-day problems when they face Aalborg on Tuesday.
The former Motherwell striker helped Gordon Strachan's side to a 3-1 victory over St Mirren at Love Street on Saturday to extend their winning run in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to 11 games following their defeat by Rangers at the end of August.
Goals from Georgios Samaras, Shunsuke Nakamura and substitute Cillian Sheridan set up the SPL leaders for another tilt at ending their winless run in Europe's premier club competition.
The Hoops have taken just one point from a possible 51 in their Champions League group phase matches away from home and will suffer an early exit from the competition if they do not win against the Danes.
However, McDonald does not expect the win over the Buddies to be of any great significance in the Energi Nord Arena.
"I don't think it means much to be honest," the Australian international said.
"The league is one thing but obviously Europe is a totally different thing.
"Yes, you will be confident because you are playing well so hopefully we can take that to Aalborg but it's different circumstances and a different type of football.
"We will get our head round that, look forward to it and hopefully break our duck.
"We should go with what we know best and that's playing attacking football.
"At times when we have tried to defend it has been our Achilles heel."
Celtic's last visit to Love Street before St Mirren move to their new stadium in January was relatively stress-free, notwithstanding the first-half incident in which Hoops keeper Artur Boruc was fortunate to receive only a yellow card for his challenge on Saints striker Craig Dargo outside the penalty area.
McDonald, who recovered from a bout of sickness to start alongside Samaras, is glad he will not have to play at the dilapidated old ground again.
"It was good to get 90 minutes and get the legs going," he said.
"I was in in bed most of the week and it was good to get out training on Thursday and Friday.
"With the exception of last year, it's always pretty hard at Love Street.
"But I'm glad to see the back of the place because it's not one of my best venues for goals - hopefully their new stadium will be.
"I've only scored once, in the 5-1 game at the start of last season but apart from that, the stadium seems to have worked against me for most of the other games.
"It was a tough match but in games we are thinking they will obviously have their spell of pressure and if we can cope with it then I'm sure we will come out the other end.
"That's what seems to be happening at the moment and you would like to think that is championship form."
St Mirren boss Gus MacPherson was adamant Boruc should have been sent off but admitted his side could not take advantage when they were on top.
He said: "I was extremely happy with the way we played and we caused Celtic problems.
"The two strikers linked up well but when you are playing in that manner then you have to score."
