Taking the pressure off of Celtic for a minute, we look at how our friends across the water are doing in Govan.
Rangers dropped three valuable points in the race for the title this weekend and thanks only to the Scottish officials absolute blunders at Tynecastle, Celtic never got the opportunity to capitalise on that.
A 2-0 defeat to Hearts means there is no change at the top of the table but after the Govan side capitulated against The Steelmen, the raging Bears were all queuing up to take a pop at their manager.
However despite being given a wee punt by yesterday’s VAR team, Rangers still lost and it seems that Clement is under pressure going by the replies to this tweet from Heart & Hand.
The first reply really encapsulates how the Rangers fans are feeling the pressure of this title race. Fighting in the stands at Ibrox in the Ross County win coupled with the booing at Ibrox yesterday shows that the fans are not handling this race too well.
And it is also showing in what some really feel about their manager and the current performances of their team:
There’s been a lot of games like this under clement though we’re we’ve scrapped past (not his fault needs better players)

Some players just don’t deserve the jersey.. Raskin & Barisic for a start.. I get players can’t play every game but the replacements have to be up for it and it’s been obvious for a while they aren’t as are players like Wright too

It’s not just today is it…..midweek was horrendous also and PC has to up his game.

This lot won’t win a league and the manager will know it now
I think it's a sign of the PC bounce ending and the serial losers are dropping back to their true bottling level🤮🥺😔

We were pretty rotten vs Killie too, but its excused because its Killie at Rugby Park and we found a way. The players looked spent.

Got bullied all over the pitch just wasn't good enough from start to finish

As I said, a title race is not for anyone and despite our own slipup yesterday, it is very much in our own hands.
How will the Bears cope if we go to Ibrox and win in April? We shall see but I would imagine the reaction would be apoplectic.
