Celtic welcome Rangers to Parkhead in a must-win side for the Gers on Sunday (12pm).
This will be the first Old Firm clash since Brendan Rodgers left Parkhead for Leicester, and was replaced by old Celtic boss Neil Lennon.
Celtic are currently running away with the league tile for an eighth consecutive year, and hold a 10-point lead over their arch rivals.
Rangers are desperate to break Celtic’s stronghold on the SPFL’s top division, and will see Sunday’s game as a last-chance saloon.
And Toljan is well aware of this, and said that he knows Celtic don’t even have to get three points as they chase another league crown.
“The gap at the top certainly helps,” he told Four Four Two.
“You can go into the game very comfortable, but even though we don’t need to win, we want to win and we want to win convincingly, that’s for sure.
“Our league lead allows us to go into the game with a little more comfort, and allows us to play our game, especially at home.”
Celtic signed Toljan on loan in January, so this will be his first Old Firm experience.
And the 24-year-old explained that the magnitude of the fixture was already ingrained in him before he made the switch from Borussia Dortmund.
“Before I came to Celtic, I was very aware of the Celtic versus Rangers fixture,” he continued.
“This game is talked about and discussed and analysed all over the world.
“Everyone knows it’s one of the biggest derbies in club football, and it’s a highlight for me to be part of.
“I really can’t wait to feel the atmosphere, especially at home, I think that will be great.
“Hopefully we can win this game, no matter if I start or not, and hopefully extend our lead at the top of the table to 13 points.”
