But McGeady realises the Tynecastle atmosphere will make it difficult to stay calm when Celtic face the Jambos in the Scottish Premier League on Sunday.[LNB]Glasgow-born McGeady is a target for opposition fans because of his decision to represent the Republic of Ireland and he admits Tynecastle is one of the most hostile venues.[LNB]But he is determined not to react while on the verge of the disciplinary points threshold and with Rangers to come on January 3.[LNB]"Being a booking away from a ban does prey on your mind," McGeady said.[LNB]"I know I can't say something stupid to the referee and pick up a silly booking.[LNB]"I need to watch what I'm doing with my tackles as well. It's not the strongest part of my game and I can't just dive in, I need to stay on my feet.[LNB]"I realise it won't be easy to keep focused and calm because I know 100% what the crowd will be like towards me - it will be the same as it was away to Motherwell last Saturday.[LNB]"It's not an easy place to go. The Hearts fans obviously don't like Celtic, don't like how we play and what we stand for.[LNB]"But it's just one of those games where we need to watch what we're doing.[LNB]"I don't want a booking to miss a massive Old Firm game. I don't want to miss any game, but especially the Rangers game."[LNB][LNB]
