Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew hopes the Hoops' 1-0 home defeat to Hamilton on Sunday will act as a wake-up call to some of the club’s new players.
Accies' first competitive win at Celtic Park in 76 years kept the champions in sixth place in the Premiership and led to plenty of criticism from disgruntled home fans.
Celtic captain Scott Brown also accused some of his team-mates of "hiding" after the match.
Mulgrew missed the game with a knee injury but believes the new players will now be aware of how high expectations are at the club.
It wasn't good enough all round against Hamilton. We all know that.
"If they didn't before, they must know now," said the 28-year-old. "There is pressure on us now to start winning games. There is every game but especially after a defeat you need to come back out fighting.
"It wasn't good enough all round against Hamilton. We all know that.
"There has been times this season when it hasn't been but if we take one or two chances in the first half then it is a different game.
"We didn't do that and things changed, they got the goal to make it difficult for us. We all have to do better as a group.
"I don't think confidence is an issue, I think that is fine. But it is time we picked up results and we need to start doing that in the next match."
Mulgrew put Brown's outburst down to the "heat of the moment" and the midfielder's passion.
"Sometimes you get caught cold after a game when you are still disappointed and you say things you don't mean," he said.
"I haven't seen his quotes, I don't know exactly what he said but I know what Scott Brown is like, he is passionate, he wants to win like everybody does.
"Maybe he has said something in the heat of the moment after a game when he is very disappointed.
"But I am sure Scott Brown wanted to win just like everybody else did so everybody has to stand up and be counted."
