The Ibrox men are only one goal behind the Hoops following the same amount of games, with the champions visiting Hibs on Wednesday night.
The contest for the Premiership title was over before it began during Michael Beale’s reign at Ibrox.
However, Philippe Clement’s arrival and Celtic’s poor form have altered Rangers, and after defeating Aberdeen in a dramatic night under the lights at Ibrox, his adversaries are now LEVEL on points at the league summit, with only ONE goal separating the two clubs with the same number of games played. Brendan Rodgers takes his champions to Easter Road on Wednesday night, a venue he has never won at, looking to return to winning ways after drawing at Pittodrie the previous time out. In their next game, the Light Blues will play a struggling Ross County.
Love is truly in the air around Govan at present and the Ibrox faithful could be celebrating Valentine’s day by going top of the table in their own right. A lot of that will come down to the outcome of Celtic’s clash in Leith in terms of the result and goals scored which will determine whether Rangers can open a points gap or potentially goal difference. But either way, what a finale we are set for in Scotland’s top flight.
The fixtures come thick and fast with Rangers still competing in for the Scottish Cup. Scott Brown’s Ayr United visit Ibrox this weekend while Brendan Rodgers will want to bag the famous old trophy after missing out on the League Cup. He’s on the road with Celtic at St Mirren.
The Ibrox men also have Europa League football with the last 16 on the horizon but away from the cup competitions, both have nine games until the Premiership league split. That includes a derby showdown at Ibrox with the two sides going head to head once more when the split fixtures are determined. Here’s the run in for both sides up until that crucial point.
