Nice win today and another clean sheet!

Barisic' was a peach Inch perfect.

Jelle1880

Was nervous at the start as we were playing pretty pedestrian, didn't need to be nervous at all it seems

I'd imagine you've had a similar reaction yourself a few times since the New Year?

Maxpfizer

So with 15 games left to play I think 32 points wins the league?

The 10 games until the split are...

Motherwell (A)
Ross County (H)
Hibs (A)
St Johnstone (H)
Hamilton (A)
Kilmarnock (H)
Livingston (A)
St Mirren (H)
Sad Face FC (A)
Dundee United (H)

A good few tricky fixtures in there.

Of course although after four trebles in a row, about time some other club won a trophy

I suppose we took a very small step closer to the title today, despite the disappointing result.

14 games remaining. 42 points to play for.
31 points required to guarantee we are the champions.

Assuming the other team manage to win all 17 of their matches, of course.

Starting to think we might do this!

Trying so hard to just think a game at a time. They should beat Livingston on Wednesday and that will be one of their games in hand out the way

One game at a time is the only way to look at it.

The lead at the top can be deceptive because there's always a possibility that one of us goes on a winning run for many, many, matches.

Even a couple of draws for them in the last 17 games would give us a significant extra advantage.

Whichever way you look at it, we still have a long way to go.

Anything can happen but for sure I'd rather be in our position right now. Of course!

Ross County next and we can see what kind of reaction we get out of the players.

Very difficult to know how to feel about today when we salvaged a point and also it's the first points we've dropped since 20th of September.

I liked his reaction from yesterday better.

Another good win today and good to see Jack and Roofe back onto Wednesday and Hibs now

Jelle1880

Fuming at yesterday. They did everything in their power so we can't win the league at celtic park

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Wright + 150k for McCrorie who will bring his permanent move forward

Simpson in Glasgow he will sign and probably go out on loan for the rest of the season

Jelle1880

Happy with those transfers and we managed to offload some deadwood. Do hope Barker will get his league winners medal

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Another win and we move to Sunday at Hamilton. Not a great game but Hagi with a sublime goal done what was needed

Jelle1880

Never showed up today, Hamilton probably deserved more than a point I'd say.

Still unbeaten in the league though

Yeah think SG knows he made changes he shouldn’t

What’s the magic number for Rangers to secure the title? Must be getting very close?

Four wins needed

Jelle1880

Should have won by more but decent performance in general.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Another step onwards. Happy enough with that

Looking even better if Ross County hold on!

Yes!!! Seven points needed , one hand on the trophy!

Well, that was entertaining!

Some of our attacking play tonight was sublime

Hate saying it, but Rangers have been immense this season. You'd like to think they are doing well cause Celtic are poor, but Europe shows otherwise. Royal Antwerp are no mugs, probably the second best team in Belgium to a very good Brugge team the last few years.

How good is Gerrard as a manager though? Has he been the turnaround, or were the club growing again anyway, in the likes of financial stability, that would of allowed any manager to do the job he's doing?

To be fair when he came into the club we had to many players who shouldn’t have been there. He has built a team by bringing in players and working to improve players already there. It’s taken all of three seasons but he has done it Rangers are a club back in the mix.

See I choose not to watch much of Rangers, so hard to gauge how good of a manager he is. They seem to have motivation, leadership and direction of play though, which is hard to instill regardless of how big or dominant the club once were. Seems to be far better than Lampard for example.

He seems to have made them a cohesive unit, whereas they seemed a bit all over the place before he arrived

blueser

All credit to Gerrard. Rangers were in a mess when he first went there, with a losing mentality. But he's whipped them into shape, and then some. Sleepwalking their way to the title, and progressing steadily through the EL. Exciting times to be a Rangers fan, after a long, long time in Celtic's shadow.

Well I watch every game and he has turned the club round big time. There’s still work to do but it’s all good so far. I will add it is his first managerial roll and he has been learning his trade so yes mistakes were made and no doubt will still happen but it seems he is learning from them and putting that knowledge to good use

You from the south of Ireland btw? Must be weird being a Rangers fan down south. Was talking to a lad from the Dublin Wicklow L.O.L who was a Rangers fan. Fascinating though his experience

Yeah from Donegal there’s a few Rangers fans about. It’s fine most of the time unfortunately there’s always some that take it to far

Aye, Donegal a bit different than the rest of south though in parts though, sizeable enough Ulster Scots community in places than the rest of the country

I presume you are referring to Protestants when you say Ulster Scots. I have never heard the term when talking about RC’s or am I way off track

Broxi_Bear_Eire

So Slavia Prague in the last 16. If could have been worse looking forward to this tie

Jelle1880

Beaton really is the worst ref in the league, and that's saying a lot.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

4 to go

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Morelos yellow rescinded SG accepts one match ban

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Good win with an an all round very good team performance. 1 point needed

Jelle1880

It's been a hell of a trip gents.

Championees! This is magic , been a long time waiting for this moment!

Well done to Rangers. Fully deserved. Celtic have been atrocious this season, and Rangers have shown remarkable consistency.
