Goal difference

[SuperRanger]

Just a minor point, given we are now so far ahead on points. We are now GD +58 and they are +30. They could win each of their 3 games in hand 9-0 and we’d still have a better goal difference. Our defence should take huge credit.

It’s basically another point advantage over them

Was just thinking about this.

If they won their 3 games in hand 4-0, and beat us 2-0 in both remaining derbies, we'd still be 8 goals ahead.

By my calcs if they managed to catch us, the goal difference advantage would be nearly gone. We’d have to lose 5 games [minimum -5 in total], they need to win 8 games [say 8x2] and they’d have to have some change in form. Would reduce the gap by around 21 goals.

They won’t be catching us though so they’ll get no where near on points never mind goals.

You’re correct, but I don’t thing GD is going to come in to it . One goal conceded at Ibrox this season is an incredible record.

If I recall an own goal by big George at that.
