Goal difference may well play a part in the title race.
Strikers and the attacking midfield players should up their end game and that also includes defensive blunders caused by a lack of concentration like we saw on sunday.obviously a one off but the lads have to keep switched on at all times going into the business end of the season with the CL the prize and the world stage to show their gift

Main thing just now is the 3 points. Think about GD later.

Deecee, there have only been 2 seasons where goal difference has come into who wins the title, so the odds of it playing a part are very small.
So it may happen, but I suspect points are more important.
It isn't as if our players are the only ones with that issue anyway. However, we have conceded less and scored more than Hearts and Celtic since Rohl became manager as well, so our GD is improving.

Big Dado, think about goal difference later. What do you think about when others are +10 with a couple of games to go? I'm with you, decent, score as many as we can now.
18 Feb 2026 15:15:57
Agree with Dado. If we win all of our remaining games 4-2 or similar, we still win the league.
18 Feb 2026 15:20:13
We have been bringing the goal difference down, tied with Hearts now, four better than Celtic.
18 Feb 2026 15:20:57
If Hearts draw and we win at the weekend, we go top.
18 Feb 2026 15:21:38
Points will be dropped by all 3 teams.
18 Feb 2026 15:44:58
Are the plastic pitches ending this season?
18 Feb 2026 16:03:19
Surely the players should always try to score goals and not concede goals?
Is that not their job?

Almost, although Falkirk have been given a special dispensation for a further year.
18 Feb 2026 16:16:43
Falkirk gets another season.
18 Feb 2026 16:21:18
Davie, I don't think Hearts or Celtic will be +10 over us at all anyway. I fancy us to take the lead on that soon, but we could have much better GD and be 1 point behind. Control games and win the 3 points. We don't need to go gung ho yet.
18 Feb 2026 16:40:17
Yes, although I think I read Falkirk get an extra season.
18 Feb 2026 17:31:01
Exactly Big D. ?
18 Feb 2026 18:07:52
New signings have given us more in open play, and I expect us to score more goals. Keep clicking up the three points, it won't matter right enough.
18 Feb 2026 18:19:13
Points are most important, but the team with the best goal difference usually wins the league.
I'm sure the players will want to win games by as many goals as possible. Scoring goals and not conceding will not be for lack of effort.
18 Feb 2026 18:51:26
I understand Kilmarnock will attempt to get another year.
18 Feb 2026 20:18:21
Points are the main thing. We need to keep winning, and we need to beat them at Ibrox in a few weeks, so they can't go above us with their game in hand.
18 Feb 2026 20:26:22
I think, if a team comes up to the all, they should get 2 years to upgrade to grass. Some of these clubs simply could not afford to lay a grass pitch of decent quality in the first season. We need to be realistic.
