Mark Warburton has said that he gets on well with Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs.
The two have criticised each other in the media following Hibs' 2-1 victory over Rangers earlier this month.
"It's just tongue in cheek," Warburton told reporters. "There's no problems with Alan. We shared a drink after the last game with the staff. We talked about the game and got on well.
"It's the media. It's about rivalry. It's about making headlines and getting excitement, and that's great. It's a competitive world we work in.
"But we respect all these teams. There's no easy games in this league, that's for sure. If you don't prepare well you pay the price."
Warburton's Gers lead Hibs by two points in the Scottish Championship table.
