    By making those honest mistakes would be the obvious answer.

    I've been asking this question all season, how the F have they got as many points and decent results. They are rank rotten and imo there are clear problems behind the scenes. Morelos has chucked it and was dropped from the squad today for discipline issues. The slipster goes straight down the tunnel and it looks like Jack has picked up another knock which may keep him out for a while.

    Perhaps the rumours about Dubai have substance and as sure as night following day, they are turning on Gerrard. He has thrown them under the bus so many times since he's been there that the players are clearly sick of him as well but they can't afford to punt him.

    We have a though game tomorrow but hopefully we get through and if we do, then another treble is looking promising. St. Johnstone are on decent form but if we play well we win. Lets hope so anyway.

    It looks like the Jim Traynor crusade to make Morelos a poor little victim has backfired on them.

    Perth today.

    A big game on a bad park in a galeforce wind.

    One of those days that any victory will do.

    Do you think we will make a few changes.

    For me Scott Brown needs to sit out and it possibly isn't the kind of game for Elyanoussi either so it should be two up again.

    Would also like to see Frimpong come in for Forrest.

    Elhamed has played a couple of reserve games so I think it would be best for him to come in for Jozo.

    Depends on fitness for me, if Brown is fit i'd start him.

    I'd have El Hamed in my back three but dont know if he's ready. Forrest was poor on Thursday but he usually does well in Perth and i'd definitely go with the 2.

    Be happy with any positive result today.

    With Brown I really think we need to start monitoring him a bit more, he wasn't fit on Thursday night and that's a couple times now after a wee niggle he has come straight back in and looked off it.

    He is 35 now and has never had the best injury and fitness record to begin with so we got to be careful and make sure he is 100% for the big games.

    The Quadruple Treble is still on....just.

    A real battle today on a quagmire of a pitch, but we still managed to hold steady and get there in the end.

    It was all about winning today as no great quality could be expected on that pitch.

    I reckon Hibs will be favourites, given their respective league form.

    Bit worried about the match v Livi tomorrow night. They've only conceded 6 goals at home this season. It's going to be a tight match. I'd like to see both Griffiths and Edouard start in a 352, with Jullien, Ajer, and Bitton forming the back three (Welsh on the bench). Forrest and Taylor as WB's, and a midfield three of Broony, McGregor, and Rogic.

    Only 6 goals conceded at home?

    That's a remarkable stat for a club like Livingston.

    Yep, less than we've conceded at home in the league (7).

    Gerrard's position becoming untenable now

    Wow.

    An unbelievably frustrating game for us and welcome point in the end, but never in a million years could I see that result coming from ibrox regardless of what's been going on recently.

    Gerrard may walk now.

    By the way.....Livingston under Holt are terrific for the resources they have.

    I really didn't think we would get an equaliser such was how well organised they were. And at the other end they look good for a goal too.

    Kilmarnock missed a trick by not appointing Holt when Alessio was sacked.

    Disaster for Rangers, again. He's definitely on borrowed time now, this sort of result is the one that I think would have been the end for most.

    I think his hefty contract, his name, and the Europa League last 16 are all that's currently keeping him in the job.

    It was a real opportunity to put pressure on Celtic with them dropping points, but surely now the title race is over with the lead extended to 13 points and Rangers struggling against whoever they're playing both home and away.

    They are the worst run club in the UK.

    Gerrard is the only person who decides when he leaves and thats down to the new 4 year contract they gave him in December, they can't afford to sack him.

    Rumours tonight that he has offered the board his resignation on reduced terms. One year paid up instead of four for him and his backroom staff. . And it's been refused by the club.

    Without doubt. Said it at beginning of the season and for the last few years but the first thing they need to do is get rid of their PR "guru". He has wrecked them this season and surely there must come a time when they realise that hating and attacking everyone and everything is doing them no good at all.

    Has he definitely signed that? I know there were talks about it but not sure it went through. Probably did though.

    If this is true it wasn't a decision made on football. Gerrard has brought money to that club and I think that is why they want him to stay. Surely though he must realise he's going nowhere fast and it will eventually be noticed by others. If it's not already.

    Rangers losing to the team bottom of the league for the second game in a row, must be some sort of record.
