New Celtic first-team coach Garry Parker has targeted a clean sweep of trophies in his first season at Parkhead, but the former Aston Villa and Leicester midfielder is well aware of the size of task which faces the Hoops.
Parker has joined his old team-mate Neil Lennon in Glasgow to complete the Celtic manager's backroom staff, which also includes Johan Mjallby and Alan Thompson. The aim now is to wrest the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title from rivals Rangers' grasp and prevent their Old Firm rivals from claiming a third successive championship.
Parker said: "Your aim is always to win everything you enter. But I can't come in here and say we're going to do this and do that."
He added: "We've just got to be judged on each game as it comes and hopefully if we can win enough games then at the end of the season we'll be in a position to win the league.
"The hardest thing in football is winning football matches but that is what we want to do, and we want to win as many as we can."
Parker played alongside Lennon at Leicester and revealed how the Northern Irishman promised him a coaching role when he landed his first job in management.
"It's a good opportunity and I'm looking forward to it," said Parker, who worked with former boss Martin O'Neill in the scouting department at Aston Villa.
"I've known Neil a long time, we played together at Leicester and he always said if he got a management job he would want me to come with him so we've stayed in touch. We're quite close.
"I came up to Glasgow on Wednesday and I'm staying with Neil so he's been telling me all about the place. I'm looking forward to getting started."
