El-MaGiC 0 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 MADJID BOUGHERRA insists Rangers will hold on to their SPL crown if they come out on top in the Old Firm showdowns.And the Algerian defender is determined to strike a blow in the title race by helping Gers claim a massive win at Parkhead today.Both sides boast perfect league records heading into the clash so Bougherra claims derby wins will be crucial.He said: "Whoever takes most points from the four Old Firm matches will win the title."The two teams aren't going to lose many points against the other sides in the SPL."You can see from the first eight games that the level of Rangers and Celtic is high."The championship is long and the rest of the matches are important but this is my belief."We have Champions League encounters so we're playing every three days and Celtic have nothing."They will be fully focused on the championship."In my first year at Rangers we missed out on Europe and it was easier to recover."If we win this game though it's going to be vital."My link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPirateHooker 141 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Simply not true. Neither team is going to take full points from every game this season outwith the OF games, especially if we finish 3rd in the CL group stages and go on a Europa Cup run.It will be of added importance if both teams form continues, but we'll never get a 100% record vs the mickey mouse clubs.

bringonthbarca 25 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Has the team who has taken th most points off the other always went on to win th league? I would try find out bur now is not really the time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Agree with him 100%, there doesnt look like anyone else bar us, wants to beat them. They are very poor yet no one looks capable of stopping them, or havnt yet and i honestly dont see anyone doing us any favours, we will need to win every game, as i fully expect them too(except when they play us) there is no excuse for dropping points in such a mediocre league, we are miles ahead of every one. The old firm games will be crucial! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I agree with him, both teams will lose points throughout the season, but whichever team wins the most old firm games will win the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,286 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Probably correct but I hope the players don't start believing that or we will start dropping silly points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
