There is clearly a lot riding on this title but I have a few mates that are getting unnecessarily nervy at the minute.
For me yesterday was like so many of our 1 goal wins this season- totally in control and despite missing essentially 3 out our 4 strikers (Defoe wasn’t even deemed fit enough to come off the bench) - we could have easil won by 2 or 3 but in the end the result was never really in doubt.
Last week was abysmal but it wasn’t symptomatic of recent performances imo.
I think there’s a bit of Tortoise and Hare about us this season. Sure the prize is huge but we have been so far in front I think it has taken the edge off our play.
We have been badly disrupted with injuries and suspensions over the past two months so that hasn’t helped. But these guys are on their way back so hopefully that will help.
With Europe coming up this week we need to get our juices flowing pretty quickly....are folks confident we can get firing again?
Stumble or Stroll?

Just watching MOTD from last night.
The boy Sanchez went full Shane Duffy for that third Man City goal 😂😂

I don’t buy the winter break theory tbh.
I think we are more of a team who prefers to keep going - high intensity games twice a week.
Take Aribos chance yesterday- IMO he didn’t miss that because we didn’t have a winter break - I think he missed it because there’s been a dip in intensity around our play. It was just a bit lacklustre.
And Aribos effort was symptomatic of the last couple of months.
There’s been no pressure on us in the league and we have largely only been playing one day a week with the break in the Europa.
Hopefully Europe will take care of itself. We will have Arfield, Roofe and Morelos available so that should give us a lift
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The lack of any noteworthy challenge has been splendid.
There is no fretting in the team - they know that when push comes to shove that they find the answer.
Steve Davis yesterday was just a cut above.

I do think it’s funny when you hear the whining ‘oh Rangers haven’t had to deal with any pressure this season- they would have folded by now if there was a real title race on’
And of course it mostly comes from fans of the team who absolutely wet the bed as soon as ‘Ra 10’ came into view😂

Doesn’t explain why we did our best to fook the 4x3 against hearts.
It’s Lenny, stupid.

They properly pat their shants as Dave King predicted.

In terms of the original question then it's very much a stroll.
The pleasing thing is that in recent years we'd have dropped points in those 1-0 games, even when dominating,
Hamilton were good for their point last week but McGregor could have stayed at home yesterday.

Dave King predicted ffs
The man will be right in predicting you gullible oafs will line his pockets that’s for sure.
As for folding like a pack of cards are you all thinking that after this season you’ll just stroll on to title after title?
He’s got you lot up his arris that’s for sure. How many predictions has he got right so far?
Dearie me
Thick bears eh?
