    Mate the difference between us and them are that the huns have been grinding out results with half a team recently. Wait till they get Boyd and Bougerra back from injury, their scoring will pick up again and their defence (good as it already is with that kid Wilson in) will be even stronger. The fact is that they don't tend to lose alot of goals and when they go ahead they tend to be able to hold out to get a result.

    Yes, I think the league is gone for us this year.

    time to stop saying that we are the better team and we deserve to win the league and face up to the fact that the worst rangers team in years are running away with this league.

    No - of course the huns will drop points, but Walter Smith's experience will ensure it is fewer against the parochial sides than we will drop.

    Of course we can, this would not be the first time one of the old firm has had a big lead and threw it away. Always believe!!:shamrock:

    we are all hoops fans so the answer should be yes!!! till there is no more games to be played. yes we are bad just now but this is the worst huns team in living memory. we still have to play them twice have a game in hand so that should be 9 points and then only 1 behind. what ever happend to FAITHFULL THRU AND THRU!

    Its a matter of celtic winning their games which at the moment you couldn't bank on. Rangers will definetly drop points and quite a few. Can we beat them? absolutly! We need character now.

    I think we will narrow the gap but it's now too big. Our team has no consistency and a lot of youngsters or foreigners who have yet to integrate into the squad.

    We've lost some top players, we've taken in unproven guys and probably before the signings we still didn't know our best 11. Even less so now.

    I think TM will come good, I think some of the new signings are inspired but this season points wise has been a disaster. I'm also confused at some tactical decisions, especially the plan B of throwing on as many strikers on the pitch to win games we're chasing - and we've been chasing too many games this season all ready and now find ourselves chasing 10 points.

    IMO we will not win the title. We should just about hang onto 2nd place as Hibs, imo, won't be able to maintain a challenge to us due to squad size....that is the only reason though.

    Not feeling it this year, things feel a little too unsettled right now. Rangers barely have any activity in the transfer window, bar the Mendes move to SL. Our team needs some time to understand each other in my opinion.

    They will drop points, so will we.

    The more realistic scenario is that we will drop more though. Their mob now have a bigger squad than we do if they ever get injury free.

    If you were on the outside looking in you'd think we were the team fighting off £30m debt and not them.

    I can't see us winning the league to be totally honest with you though, i think selling players like Caldwell and Mick is basically throwing in the towel for me.

    Obviously i know Mick hasn't been good this year at all and Caldwell wasn't his best either but you've got to remember only 6 months ago Caldwell was awarded with the Player of the year accolade and that was well merrited.

    We've now let 4 Scottish internationalists leave(Caldwell, Robson, Fox and McManus) and brought in a handful of untested, unheard of players.

    I'm far from happy at the way our team is being run into the ground and i feel instead of improving our squad we're trimming any talent we have and replacing it with mediocre.
