    Home game against County won't be a walk in the park.

    They're flying atm. With our home games though I do feel a lot more confident.

    Technically as well the GD does give us the chance to lose a game and probably still be top. Not that you want to rely on that. But it could be crucial.

    We're effectively 4 points clear at the moment. Rangers aren't pulling that goal difference back I don't think. One more defeat for the huns totally does them in for me. Foot on the accelerator Celtic!!

    Stomach turns at the thought of this. Don’t want to get ahead of myself as i know it can all change after 1 game. Win our next 2 games and we are in the driving seat big time though.

    Must improve defending from set plays. Livi scored on a long throw, hit the bar on a wide free kick and Hart made big save early from corner kick just 5 minutes into the game. Those were the only 3 chances they created in the game but they were all big chances. Dundee scored both goals from set plays as did Aberdeen. So the last 7 goals we have given up in the league have all been from set plays. This must be improved or we will end up dropping points to somewhere along the way.

    If we win our next two games, I think that's us won the league.

    This is the thing about some of our recent games.

    On the face of it, they've looked light tight games but that's not telling the full story. We've been in complete control only to ship some absolutely shocking goals from set pieces. Made it far more difficult than it needed to have been. Aberdeen and Dundee in particular.

    I only feel comfortable watching us when we're 2 or 3 up. You just always feel that no matter how good we've been and how dominant our performance, if we're only leading by 1 then a set piece out of nowhere and we could be in big trouble.

    Can't see the huns turning over a 6-9 point deficit, and a worse goal difference, with 6 games left. Especially when they have to go away to hard grounds after the split and we'd have the more challenging fixtures at home.

    2005 was once in a generation stuff. Wouldn't happen again.

    Game at Ibrox is absolutely massive. If * forbid they win confidently that could maybe swing things in their favour, even though I'd still expect us to be top. Anything other than that and I fancy us to see it out. Even if they manage to sneak a win we'll still go into the last few games feeling confident. Mind you I've said every game is massive these last few weeks, it's just the nature of a title race. I think we'll do it.

    Was 4 games left but i get your point, leagues nowhere near done. However if we do win our next 2 games it would take the same kind of freak collapse as 2005.

    Surely. Would be a monumental f up to throw it away being atleast 6 points clear with 6 to go and 4 being at home.

    Would you rather be 3 points behind them with 8 games to go?

    I think on the surface 3 points and 11 goals they aren't exactly blowing teams away we look to be coming onto a game and the extended rest will do us a world of good now! A draw at ibrox will kill them and if we score first that crowd is going to feel 100 tonnes on them we need to get at them to really hurt them

    Still a long way to go..

    The reassuring thing for me is Ange is clearly the better coach and you trust him to do what's needed to get us over the line..

    Kyogo and Turnbull into the squad hopefully for the run in..

    We have the better players, spirit, togetherness and quality..

    However, nothing is certain the margin is small but win at Ibrox, with another to come at Celtic Park... we'd be almost home.

    They have also been incredibly lucky with injuries to the likes of Goldson, Morelos and Taverner, three players they don't really have an replacement for.. maybe the extra Europa Games will also be a hindrance for them.

    Yes I believe we'll win it but I realise it's far from guaranteed. A win at their * tip at the start of April would be massive. I'm liking the way some of our more experienced players are now stepping up when they're required (Bitton and Forrest where very good on Sunday) if we can add Kyogo and Turnbull then we could become unstoppable in the remaining games.

    I would not. Memories from 02/03, 04/05, and 10/11 still linger.
