    Didn't you say 90 points wins us the league?

    We're 17 points short of that with 24 points left to play for, which would mean we could drop 7 points and still win the league?

    They need to win both derby games imo. There's no room for them to drop any points against us. We'll soon be in a position (hopefully) where they will need to win every game to be in for a shot of the title.

    They're scraping wins against really poor opposition or drawing. Their away form recently has been honking and when they have to play more away games than home, it doesn't make good reading for them.

    If we get back to our best, which yesterday hinted at, I can't see us dropping many points until the end of the season.

    I saw we played something silly like 11 games in 4 weeks and the next 4 weeks we play 5 games. That with Kyogo coming back should lift us massively.

    If they drop points in the next three games, their season is over imo.

    Aye 90 am just saying we shouldn’t be dropping 7 points even though I think 90 wins the league

    Worst case scenario for us is I see us dropping 5 points which I don't think is really end of the world stuff.

    Draw to the likes of Dundee Utd as example and potentially lose at their * pit....as a worst case scenario for us.

    Don't see where else we could drop points right now as the livi win is suggesting we could be seeing an uptick in form whereas their lot are still sluggish and scraping by and with the added Europa games I'm sure where we could drop 5, they could easily drop 7.

    We are winning the league.

    Said it before and I’ll say it again. Ibrox in April is huge. Don’t lose there and be very confident in securing the title

    if we win the next two then we will be at least 6 points ahead with at least +10 goal difference.

    That effectively would mean the huns would need us to drop 7 pts and they winning all the remaining 6 games which I think would be unlikely especially considering 4 of those are at home. Also expect them to drop more points at the split than us goven thrir recent away record

    I think they'll park the bus at Ibrox, if they try and take us man to man I think we'll win comfortably.

    Win that game and the league is ours.

    I think they'll go 3-4-1-1 or similar, basically the system that worked for them 2nd half v Dortmund.

    We've played them off the park twice this season I think, we should have won at Ibrox in the first game, Kyogo * up two near certain goals when shooting when he should have passed and passing when he should have shot.

    They are probably more defensive now than they were that last Ibrox game and they're probably tiring more than we are, im confident we should be going there and scoring 2 or 3 goals. Easier said than done but they don't play the type of football that bothers us. AZ, Betis, Leverkusen and Bodo are the only teams who have really troubled us this season and i'd also say domestically only Dundee Utd who play 2 up front and press us look good against us, everyone who sits in relys on luck at managing to stop us scoring and trying to score themself usually from a set piece which rarely works.

    If they play 2 up front like

    McGregor
    Tavernier Goldson Bologun Bassey
    Arfield Jack Lundstram Kent
    Roofe Morelos

    And they shut us down at the back and press us they might rattle us a bit, Bodo did and so do Dundee Utd at Celtic Park the twice they've done it. But I doubt they will do it as Arfield, Roofe and Morelos have no pace anyway to really do it well and even Kent who is quick he's not really going to do it either, not got it in him plus they will be / already are tired. We are tired also but we have younger, quicker players who are going to have a bit of time off and less travelling.

    That's the difference they will need to vary their system to try and combat our system..

    The beauty of Ange's system is he doesn’t need to/want to vary...

    Still, let's not get ahead of ourselves a lot can happen before the 3rd of April .

    Most saying we win at ibrox it's ours. I don't believe this. I do however expect us to win the league as I have done all season but I don't think that's the game that'll clinch it. I do suspect we will pull away more in the next few games but I do think we'll drop some points after w pull away from them more. All games are massive from here on in, the next one against them * at parkhead will be the one I think once we win that, is when we'll know we'll be champions.

    If we win at Ibrox and go 6 points ahead with 5 games to play then we win the league. A win at ibrox would be mentally destroying for them and in my opinion would guarantee them droppin more points before playing us at parkhead.

    We play games before ibrox but if we are still 3 points clear at the ibrox game and win to go 6, it still isn't over. Don't let complacancey set in. We know what happened when we done this with 10IAR. Listen, I know we're going to win the league. Ive been confident of this from the start of season. But all it takes is to get to confident when we're 6 points clear and them to get a lift. A few games swayed for them and against with dodgey decisions and then back in it. The game at parkhead is the one that's going to put them to bed!

    If we accumulate more points than the Huns then you’re * right we deserve it. 5points dropped is 1 loss and 1 defeat, not exactly unimaginable.

    Still a long way to go but we just need to keep winning. Got the cup game which will be important for keeping momentum going but the next league game against County gives us a great chance to heap pressure on them coming off a Euro tie going up to Dens where they have a poor record staring at a 6 point gap.

    The game at Ibrox will be vital after that but we shouldn’t overlook the need to get the job done against County first. Hopefully we can really kick on again on the back of yesterdays result.
