A big win for Hearts today. They've now beaten each of Celtic and Rangers twice, the first time they've had 4 wins against the old firm in a season in 40 years. The real deal?
Hearts have had a wee dip but it’s how they handled that which makes them the real deal. Others have folded after a decent start.
January window is still going to go a long way in deciding the title.

First in over a year I believe and only lost to Hearts in the league.

Just what seemed to be a hell of a lot of draws in there. They're expensive when your rivals seem to win most weekends. Which Hearts seem to be doing for most of the season so far.
I know it’s low budget TV but watched Sportscene there. I thought they were really scraping the barrel with Ricky Foster but Jackie McNamara could hardly string two words together and looked like a down out.

Even harder to believe, they said it was their first away league defeat in 2025 which just sounds wrong!
It’s correct. It’s been over a year since Rangers lost an away league game.
It is what made 3 points for a win a much better system - it's encourages teams to try and win a game - the rewards are worth the risk. In the long run, draws are not good enough.

Agreed. Draws, while obviously better than defeats, are no good for teams chasing titles. Rangers have only lost one more game than Hearts, but are 12 points behind them in the table. Granted, their two defeats have been to Hearts, which is (in theory) a 12 pt swing!
