We can of course beat them twice. When both teams are at their best head to head there's very little to separate us and them. But there's no way on this planet they are dropping 4+ pts v others.
We hope..I don’t think we will lose to them for the rest to the season, unfortunately I dont see them dropping points elsewhere.
We fkd it in a few different ways over the season, not just the draw in January.
Next season will be a different story.
if they win on Sunday they go 12 points clear. Beale has been great but imo has fucked 2 games v them already. I dont know where you are getting the confidence it will be less than 9 by the end of the season.I don't think we'll be beaten again in the league this season. Stating the obvious but it's all on next week. It would rattle them big time if we can win on thier patch. No doubt whatsoever in my mind that we're capable of taking 6 points from them, but I'm looking at next weekend in hope rather than expectation. Think it will be a draw and similar to the last game at Ibrox. Unfortunately I'll think they will get over the line but they won't win the league by 9 points, that's for sure.
Yes we can. I think we will win on Saturday, that puts pressure on them, something they have never had for a while.
While I agree with you. A 9 point cushion takes any pressure off. 3 points is totally differentEven if we take 6 points off them and win every other game, we still lose the league by 3 points.
The semi final is everything.
Know what you're saying. I think we'll beat them at Ibrox though I do accept that by that point it probably won't make a difference to them in terms of the title.if they win on Sunday they go 12 points clear. Beale has been great but imo has fucked 2 games v them already. I dont know where you are getting the confidence it will be less than 9 by the end of the season.
Yet again though a massive decision in not letting any away fans in happens just in time for what is basically a title decider for them at home.
Not a chance anyone other than us are taking points off Pacific Shelf.If we win our last 9 we win the league title. Pressure does funny things to people
If we don’t beat them in any of these 3 games then it’ll be enormous pressure on Beale and rightly so.
sad but probably true lets hope that changes soon, never say dieUnfortunately we will be doing well to get 3 points out the two games. They are better than us at the moment
C ould not have said it betterI don't agree with this as Michael Beale can't help the situation he has inherited. The last time this squad beat them in the league was August 2021. If we failed to beat them in the three remaining games, then for me the players should have to take responsibility for that because the shite run against them started long before Beale arrived and at the end of the day Beale has improved the team. That's inarguable.
I know folk are going to bang on about the trophy haul with them getting close and blah blah blah but for me sometimes you have to accept a period of transition for a manager to implement his ideas. He has only had one transfer window and the financial gulf between our spending and theirs also cannot be ignored. Mr. Beale has my total faith, it's my faith in these players that needs to be rebuilt as things stand.
It's a moot point maybe because I think we'll win one at the very least. But it's an important distinction to make I think.

He was under immense pressure right from the off with them.If we beat them twice, which we will, they've got 6 games in which 1 loss and 1 draw would hand us the title.
Ange has never been put under pressure before. He'd absolutely crumble.
So is it possible? Yes
If he does he's under real pressure I'd sayI think our problem will be Beale will pick the same players that have failed us against them.
Even on here we see the clamour for the same failures who have let us down over and over again and shat the bed against them.
We need a mindset change from the club the manager and the supporters.
Our manager has made mistakes in his two games against them, unnecessary and completely the wrong sub at Ibrox then the wrong starting 11 and wrong subs at the wrong time at hampden.I think our problem will be Beale will pick the same players that have failed us against them.

Of course he has been put under pressure, they just deal with it unfortunately, which is why they are strolling to the title with ease.If we beat them twice, which we will, they've got 6 games in which 1 loss and 1 draw would hand us the title.

Not starting Cantwell and Raskin in the cup final seemed to be the main criticism of him. Both will play on Saturday (if Raskin is fit).Beale hasn’t been brave enough with his starting 11/subs in the last 2 games against them, and I can’t see that changing any time soon.
So it’s a no from me.
We can’t forget his subs against them at Ibrox on the 2nd, when we had our foot on their throats and he brought on James Sands. Changed the entire momentum of the game.Not starting Cantwell and Raskin in the cup final seemed to be the main criticism of him. Both will play on Saturday (if Raskin is fit).
Yes, in the first game against them we should have won easily as they were rotten.Our manager has made mistakes in his two games against them, unnecessary and completely the wrong sub at Ibrox then the wrong starting 11 and wrong subs at the wrong time at hampden.
He needs to show he can influence games in the proper way.
Which of course is the main impediment to us beating them, ie our options for the main striking are utterly woeful. An out of condition disinterested Morelos who couldn't finish his dinner, or a limited Colak. Depressing stuff.Morelos plays well we’ll win , fear no foe Rangers intae them , hit them hard they don’t like it up them as captain Mannering would say !!!
That raised alarm bells for me. Ridiculous decision.We can’t forget his subs against them at Ibrox on the 2nd, when we had our foot on their throats and he brought on James Sands. Changed the entire momentum of the game.
Morelos is too slow against them and Vickers dominates him. Sakala been much better against them and is our on form striker.Morelos plays well we’ll win , fear no foe Rangers intae them , hit them hard they don’t like it up them as captain Mannering would say !!!
No - they can draw 2 more if we win both.For that to happen, they'll need to lose two league games - having lost just one all season.
