Watch Slovenia vs Qatar Live StreamingA late winner from Maurice Edu allowed the Scottish champions to restore their 10-point lead at the top of the table, with a game in hand still to be played at St Johnstone at the end of the month.
Celtic boss Tony Mowbray conceded the championship was now Rangers' to throw away in the wake of their defeat at Ibrox.
But, even though their bitter rivals failed to dent their title hopes, Smith warned that the rest of the SPL could still pose problems for his side.
He said: "I find it very difficult to overcome the teams in Scotland and I think the boys who manage the teams in Scotland do a great job.
"They make it difficult for the Old Firm to win matches. You would never find me claiming that [the title is over] because of the respect I have for the other teams. We'll have to continue to do as well as we have been doing."
Edu - who had an earlier effort disallowed within seconds of replacing the injured Lee McCulloch - claimed the decisive goal deep into injury time and Smith admits he was resigned to taking a point from the famous fixture by that stage in the game.
