Have Rangers blown the SPL title ?

[TheChosenOne]

Yet another draw 1-1 at Motherwell.

1 Celtic 37 14 4 1 42 7 13 1 4 41 19 57 86
2 Rangers 36 18 0 1 50 10 8 5 4 31 21 50 83

They have to play St Mirren & Aberdeen this week and Celtic have to play Dundee Utd away.



Let battle commence...

I hope so - I really REALLY hope so.

Yeah, I think we blew it today. I'm not that surprised to be honest. We've had an awful fixture schedule. Since our 1-0 win against Celtic at Ibrox, we've played 18 matches while they have had 7.

Against Motherwell today, we started well enough and went in 1-0 up. But in the second half, we had nothing to give. We looked dead on our feet.

We've got a game on Monday night now (1 day rest !) against St Mirren. If we win, we go equal on points, but we're 7 goals behind Celtic on goal difference. So really, if we don't want to rely on Celtic dropping points in their last game, we need to win this one at least 7-0........I won't hold my breath.

It's just such a horrible feeling knowing that the league is no longer in our own hands. I have faint hope that we can still nick it, but part of me just can't wait for the season to be over now so that I can be put out of my misery and look forward to next season

I think the fixture list got the better of them, as it would with probably all squads that don't have the depth of Man U, chelsea etc.

I'll be cheering them on till the very last but think it'll be in vain.

I want Rangers to win cos they're my fave Scottish team - though I'm not such a big supporter as i was as a kid in the 60s - spurs takes up really all my time now - and that's the main reason for Supporting the Gers now - so Hutton gets his medal

alas looks like he won't

 

[Kevealis]

Too many games, not enough time! The 5 biggest games of the season, all in a space of 11 days! Fucking crazy.

 

[haxman]

If Celtic go on to win the league, it probably buys Strachan another season, but doesn't cover the cracks that are appearing at the club, that is a shadow of the squad that was there when Larsson was there.

The 3/1 Betfair have offered on Rangers to win it is tempting; Celtic have been known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before.

I lay the blame the spl for not standing up to Celtic.Walter for his negative 451 tatics
3 points out the last 5 away games hardly championship form and Murray for not coming out and defending the club.
Odd how Celtic didnt want to postpone there next fixture at Dundee.
Tommy Burns,celtic legend player and a manager/Assistant coach(last year) passes away! No talk of calling off the game.
2nd of January the old firm game called off,P O`donnell dies played 86 games and
last played for Celtic played for them 10 years ago.
The club is so distressed and cant play a game but manage to sign Hinkell the next day.No Mcgeady,Nakmura,Mc Donald,Boruc all injured or suspendfor the 2nd January
old firm game.
Note there oppostion had to play the next game as the Spl was too weak to call off all the fixtures.
Some people may call me parnoid!

 

[TheChosenOne]

Well it is all down to wire wire on Thursday night.

I'm not sure how to call it, Rangers have to win big, Celtic just have to win.

Sure is a tight one.

That is usually enough to banjax their chances.

 

[Kyras]

Watching Celtic now, they should end up winning the title, and I hope they do, I like Celtic.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Aberdeen score against Rangers !

 

[Yid-ol]
