Don’t worry about a thing, because every little thing, is going to be alright.
If we start taking our chances.
At the start of the season our form and performances were a massive concern, we weren’t scoring from open play and were barely creating anything other, however, in recent games against Motherwell, Livingston, Hibernian and Hearts we have created more than enough to win each game handsomely – we just haven’t been clinical enough.
This is why I’m not as concerned as others might be.
Whether or not you pay much attention to statistics is irrelevant for this point, but for 70 minutes against Hearts it was the best we have played all season, the team second in the league and with a good squad, had yet to even register any form of attempt on Allan McGregor’s goal, in addition, Rangers had created enough to be out of sight.
đ Rangers recorded a season-high xG total yesterday.
Hearts didn’t have a shot till the 71st minute – but combined with a flatter second half, the equaliser didn’t ever feel improbable.

This is a pattern that has been repeated in recent domestic games, the opportunities are there, we just aren’t taking them, however, with consistency of selection, it’s only a matter of time before it clicks and Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe and co. start firing.
Last 4 Scottish Premiership Games we have seen Rangers create 90 shots and 9.05 xG but only 5 goals. We have managed an average of 2.26 xG per game and 22.5 shots over the past 360 minutes, both higher than last season’s average. Concerning, Encouraging, or Nothing?

The league is never won in these months but you can quickly find yourself in trouble and there is nobody I would swap places with in the league, we are top without playing well, without three key players and when you see how wildly Hearts players, Hearts fans and Celtic fans celebrated a draw, it’s clear we are still the team to beat – be patient, it’s only a matter of time, a little bird told me.
