Rangers Eye Unbeaten Run to Seal Scottish Premiership Title
Rangers are aiming to stay unbeaten through their final five league matches under Danny Rohl as they chase the Scottish Premiership title. Sitting just one point behind Hearts with the split looming, the Ibrox side has lost only once in the league since Rohl took over in October—a December defeat at Tynecastle. Now, after a dramatic 6-3 comeback win over Falkirk despite trailing 2-0, confidence is high that they can avoid any further losses.
Optimism Tempered by Realism
Scott Cameron of the Rangers Journal Podcast shared his take on BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast: while he doubts Rangers will win all five remaining fixtures, he firmly believes they won’t lose any. “I think we’ll remain unbeaten for the last five matches,” he said. “We’ve only lost once in the league under Danny Rohl.” His view hinges on consistency—not perfection—and he argues that avoiding defeats alone could be enough to clinch the title, given how tight the race remains at the top.
Cameron also pointed out that none of the top three—Rangers, Celtic, or Hearts—are likely to sweep all five post-split games. That makes resilience and points accumulation more valuable than flawless records. With both Celtic and Hearts winning their weekend fixtures before Rangers’ Sunday clash, the pressure was already mounting—but the six-goal response against Falkirk showed serious attacking firepower when it mattered.
Spain Trip Sparks Mixed Feelings
With their Scottish Cup exit confirmed, Rangers now have a full week off before their next league match. The club is using the break to head to Spain for a training camp, hoping to return sharper and more cohesive for the title run-in. But not everyone sees this as a positive move.
Cameron expressed concern about the stop-start rhythm potentially disrupting their momentum. “I would ideally like to see us having a game this weekend,” he admitted. “The stop-start nature of it does worry me in terms of the momentum we are building with lots of goals and some positive performances.” He referenced past January breaks—like the traditional Dubai trips—that sometimes derailed strong seasons. Whether this Spanish camp recharges or resets their rhythm remains a key unknown.
What an Unbeaten Run Would Mean
If Rangers go unbeaten across their final five matches, here’s what it could look like:
- Three wins and two draws would give them 11 additional points.
- Combined with their current total, that might be enough to overtake Hearts depending on head-to-head results and goal difference.
- Even two wins and three draws (9 points) could force a photo finish if Hearts drop points.
Crucially, staying undefeated doesn’t require dominant performances every week—it demands mental toughness, defensive discipline, and clinical finishing in tight games. And Rohl’s side has shown flashes of all three traits recently.
Key Takeaways
- Rangers have lost just once in the league under Danny Rohl—away to Hearts in December.
- Scott Cameron expects no losses in the final five games but doubts a perfect five-win streak.
- A 6-3 comeback win over Falkirk demonstrated attacking depth and resilience.
- The upcoming training camp in Spain offers recovery time but risks breaking momentum.
- Remaining unbeaten may be sufficient to claim the Scottish Premiership title, even without winning every match.
While the dream of five straight wins lingers, the smarter focus is on consistency. In a three-way title race where every point counts, avoiding defeat could be the ultimate weapon. Rangers know the stakes—and if their recent form is any guide, they’re ready to fight for every single point until the final whistle of the season.
