Interesting to hear that the last 8 times we have been top of the table at new year we have went on to win the league....last time we failed to convert was the 10iar season....omens are looking good

Doubt many of them we had as big a gap as 6 too. 

This will be the best title to date, it will kill off the orks.

A happy, rejuvenated, smiling (sometimes) Morelos is great to see.

Like a different player under Gio.

Top notch performance from us today , my only complaint is we should be scoring 5 or 6 when we create that amount of chances . 

Still , we're looking good . A massive improvement in recent weeks .

BTW having watched it back again I'm absolutely certain that the Wright goal was Alfie's as well.

It was well over the line before Alnwick got to it.

I am not sure it was especially with the behind the goal camera it looked to me like a save.

It was clearly over the line 😂

Very minimum that was required. Good win but slightly annoyed that we back off teams.

I thought it was as well until I watched it back I am certain that it's Alfie's.

You can see from the camera angle it's a yard behind the post when he heads it in. It's not even close

The behind the goal camera shows Alnwick as blocking the header. 

 

Either way it was a cracking performance that we should have scored more in 

[285miles 515]

Would have liked more goals but on the other hand opposition goalies always seem to up their game at Ibrox

Would have snapped anyones had off if offered our position at the start of the season

[hammer93 15,302]

Only two goals conceded in Gios reign one of which an og.....we have taken the lead in every game also....massive turnaround 

[Hadron Collider 31,885]

Our passing today was fucking tremendous. Some cunt is going to take a right doing from us. 

[JackAlex93 12,024]

It's been an incredibly smooth take over from Gio. Another win and we keep the gap at 6 points. We go in to 2022 in great shape! We welcome the chase.

[stuart1994 4,493]

Enjoyed our performance today, some of the passing and movement off the ball was very good, that was with our first full week with training with Gio. Can't wait to see what we produce after a few weeks during this break. Morelos looks such a different player, looks like he's slimmed down a bit.

Must be pushing close to 1 defeat in 70 now surely? 

We lost 3 games from jan 2020 to when league was stopped, 2nd last league game  that season was a defeat to Hamilton, so we've lost 4 in 70. Lost 1 in 59

Thought Alfie had a great game today. He's on the up again under Gio, and that's great to see.

Aye spot on mate, really should've had more than the one goal today.

[GOAT 30,449]

I just remembered clive tyldesley made a comment today that we hadn’t lost a Boxing Day game since Struth was the manager.  Did he mention it was at ibrox only or every game then because I’m pretty sure Motherwell beat us Boxing Day once and McFadden scored the goal. 

[Amokachi 3,287]

Pleased to see a lot more intensity without the ball today, looked like that ‘hunt in packs’ style we had when we were flying last season.

Yeah they did, I was at that game. Had a bug and was spuing n shitting during most of it.

They are fitter, sharper and happier players. Joy to watch again. 

No idea why the change at beginning of this season compared to last season, I can only think that they had an idea SG was already making plans to leave without knowing where he was going to go to...or SG had done something to really piss the players off somehow? 

Doesn't really matter now though. GVB has been a breath of fresh air for the players.

He has turned them around and I have no fear of players leaving if they want to leave.

Our club appears to be in safe enough hands with GVB and Co to get us decent replacements. It certainly seems that way at the moment:)
