I've been kicked in the baws so many times over the last decade that I genuinely can't get my head around being so far ahead.
Don't want to temp providence but you've just picked two guys that are hardly ever crocked.1. Key injuries - Tav, Goldson, etc.
We’re not that far ahead. Don’t get over excited. Realistically we are 5 points and a decent goal difference. That’s a great position to be in but it’s still only November.I've been kicked in the baws so many times over the last decade that I genuinely can't get my head around being so far ahead.
The officiating in the back half of last season was disgusting. I expect similar this year. The way we are playing right now is the only way we can take it out of the equation.Three reasons is actually quite a lot of factors.
None of them will be an issue, thankfully.
Think you are representative of most of us with that assessment.I've been kicked in the baws so many times over the last decade that I genuinely can't get my head around being so far ahead.
Tav was out in January and we sufferedDon't want to temp providence but you've just picked two guys that are hardly ever crocked.
Covid is a worry cos you can have perfectly fit guys sat on their thumbs for a fortnight through no fault of their own.
There is sommething nice evolving. (See what I did there?)1. Key injuries - Tav, Goldson, etc.
2. Covid related shenanigans (whether health or administrative).
3. Officiating.
There is nothing to fear from things WE can control.
And it’s been a long time since we could honestly say that.
Nobody is immune to injury but Tav is rarely unavailable.Tav was out in January and we suffered

Add in complacency mate , no point in doing our lap of honour till we’ve won trophies.1. Key injuries - Tav, Goldson, etc.

That plus the fact we are killing teams off with plenty goals.As much as we are playing brilliantly at present, setting new records, I thought some of our football was better last season. Seems weird to say it.
I think the overall difference this season has been the improvement in defence.
Think they are away to Milan too.The yahoos will be in compete disarray in the coming weeks having to bring in a new manager and backroom team while desperately trying to claw back a substantial defect in the league.
Two of their next three games are Sparta away and Milan at home, failure to win either of these games will see them with probably 3 wins in 11 games and Lennon will be hounded out with a stat like that. Yahoos are actually hoping they get a heavy drubbing to get him out the door which says it all.
A new manager won't have the time or money to turn things around for them this season so for me the only thing that will stop us winning the league is the SPFL trying to void it but that's unlikely with a vaccine not far away.
4. Complacency. I doubt this is a factor but we are all terrified of any winter break???1. Key injuries - Tav, Goldson, etc.

Mate name me a game from last season where we were better than the last two monthsAs much as we are playing brilliantly at present, setting new records, I thought some of our football was better last season. Seems weird to say it.

They've already managed to cost us two points at Easter Road and contrived to give them a point there.With the way we're playing, I don't even think a cheating ref could stop us!

Agree with you there mate.Disagree with OP. We were flying last year and didn’t see it through. Looks much much better this year but nothing won yet. Need to worry about ourselves no point in worrying about things we can’t control.
Helander was a big miss after Xmas.Nobody is immune to injury but Tav is rarely unavailable.
And I don't think what happened after Ne'erdy was down to any single player. It wasn't like we improved any when he was available.
No chance. None at all.All those are concerns but my main one is the forces at work behind the scene. It won’t be long til null and void appears on the agenda. Watch it happen, we go further in front then press will start and small comments here n there. It will gain momentum.
I put nothing past these devious people after the gifted title and the rest of Scottish football will happily vote for it to get at big bad Glasgow Rangers.
Precisely, we have played very well, and in fact should have had another 2 points [Hibs], however we have also benefited from Covid issues plus the fixture pile up has cranked up the pressure on Lennon and his team, and it's showing.Things have gone so well to this point, the remaining challenge will be dealing with adversity when it comes and it almost certainly will.
Me too, we won’t lose the title to any of the op’s misgivings, Steven Gerrard has this side drilled and ready for any situation.Still trying to get my head around that title op.
Why do having no fans in the ground make any difference to that?I think the officials are under more scrutiny this season with no fans in the stadium.
Everyone is watching the match on tv and with replays etc, they are finding it more difficult “to get things wrong”, this in my opinion, means they actually need to referee as fairly as their incompetence and bias allows.
It‘s easier to call them out now and highlight their cheating.
I genuinely can’t bring myself to believe properly because of the last few years.I know what you mean.
It's been so long since a Rangers team waved shiny silver things at us that I'm still, in my mind, fearing the worst at some point.
