It looks increasingly likely they will be relegated back to League Two, but it is an amazingly even league, so hopefully they can fight back.

Just out of interest, have you ever seen a league where the top two teams have lost more games than the bottom two.

All the best to ICT and their fans. Being a County fan, I do give the few ICT fans I know a bit of stick, but I'd love to see another Highland Derby in the Premiership again, so I hope they can survive and return to their glory days.

ICT may end up safe now that Dumbarton have entered administration and have been stripped all their points.

Geez, what’s going on in Scottish football.

Got to love Rodgers getting the digs in. Clement has channeled Beale when he went with the "lucky man" jibes at Ange.

Hail Hail.

Time to get the interior decorators in down Ibrox way and fix that up.

Incredibly small time claim to begin with when Real have 15 European Cups, like Port Adelaide claiming to be the most successful Aussie Rules club (trophies in weaker competitions, different entities), but they are now not even the most successful club in their own city across both incarnations

Whats the deal with Bein now having shitty commentary for the derby? Might as well just watch a dodgy stream

119/118.

 

[CURVE]

Ross County score twice in the 97th and 99th minutes to rescue a 2-2 draw against fellow strugglers Hearts. The draw keeps Hearts in the relegation playoff position ond County two points ahead in 10th.

Josh Nesbit's 97th minute goal was his third goal for the Staggies in the last month. After a slow start to the season, he appears to be finding his feet in the County midfield.

County's next game is away at Aberdeen who are struggling themselves, losing four of their last five.

And that's another title for the hoops

 

[CURVE]

Aberdeen have really fallen away after such a bright start to the season, they have now lost t4 league games in a row, this time 2-1 at home to Ross County.

County have overcome their own losing streak over the Christmas/New Year period, going into their Boxing Day clash away at Dundee they had lost 4 in a row but since then they drew with Hearts and now defeated Aberdeen for their second straight away win, an impressive feat considering they hadn't won away for 15 months before the Dundee game.

The league table is tightening a little with only 5pts separating 5th placed St Mirren and 10th placed Ross County, and Hearts appear to have awoken from their early season slumber and sit only 2pts further back.



And despite Celtic's 3-0 loss away at Rangers, they still look comfortably ahead of the pack and should cruise to another title.

That result would have made the title race interesting if Rangers hadn't taken their eye of the ball in the last two fixtures. Resting players etc cost them 5 points, then they made 3 points back up with the derby win. Still 2 points worse off.

Celtic smoking Leipzig has come back to haunt a bit. The next CL game against Brugge, Brugge really did their homework and figured out that Celtic's attack is mostly down the right with Kuhn / Johnston. Cut that off and operate a decent press and just wait for Celtic's left hand side - Taylor, Scales, Hatate, Maeda - to cough up the ball. Zagreb copied Brugge and then Rangers have x 2.

Timely result with the window open. Must sign a left winger to rotate with Maeda and really need a new left back if Tierney is not happening.
