rangers are the form team
Rangers last five games have been a 1-1 draw with Hearts, 1-0 home wins over Dunfermline and Motherwell, a good 4-1 away win to Dundee Utd, and a 1-1 draw at home to Aberdeen.
I asked the Rangers season ticket holder who sits beside me at work how the Motherwell game had been. His one word reply - 'torture'. Hardly great form.
Hearts last five games have been 4-0 win over Hibs in the SC, an unlucky 1-0 defeat away to Celtic, 4-0 and 2-0 home wins over Dunfermline and Killie, and a 2-1 defeat yesterday away to Hibs.
Rangers next three games are all away - Celtic, Killie, and Hibs. Before playing Hearts on the last day of the season.
Hearts have home games against Celtic and Aberdeen before playing at Ibrox on the last day of the season.
That's not to say there's no merit in Ironsides observation, but I'd be looking for very good value before contemplating any bets on Rangers finishing second, especially given Hearts form at Tynecastle.
