Also going to Hearts game.
And Scotland vs Gibraltar although also taking youngest daughter to this - unless she throws a paddy.

The QoS result affects us as it makes it less likely that they will not catch even a poorly performing Rangers side.

Rangers: Bell; McGregor, McCulloch, Mohsni, Wallace; Murdoch, Shiels, Law, Templeton; Miller, Clark.
Subs: Robinson, Black, Vuckic, Hardie, Daly, Aird, Crawford.
Rare start for Templeton, must be doing well in trainujng. Back to a 442 formation too.
Strangely confident of a good result today.

Good win today and a bonus of seeing youth being given a chance too. Sloppy goal to give away, but nice to see that we didn't crumble and went looking to win the game from there.
And all the sides around us dropped points bonus.

SPFL2 (Championship), 28/03/2015 : Rangers 4-1 Cowdenbeath
All the pressure from Rangers, numerous attempts on goal, get the lead, then throw it away ... Mohsni !
Fortunately, that was not the end and a three goal burst finally saw off Cowdenbeath.
The other results went Rangers' way today, which means Rangers can now overhaul Hibernian for the second place, provided we match or better Hibernian's results.

A good win coupled with a very good playing performance. At last we're seeing the defence pushing up and our midfield playing mainly in our opponent's half. It makes playing the game so much easier, I'm only surprised that McCulloch is part of that same high defensive line. Shows what a little simple organisation can achieve.
I see a lot of people praising our newfound fitness levels, but fitness hasn't been the issue, it's pace we've been lacking. Compressing the midfield helps there too, and allows us to up the tempo when required.
With the quality and volume of chances created we could have scored a barrel load today. Could and should.
Defensively we're still weak with Mohsni again blundering under a wee bit of pressure to gift their chance at goal - which they took well. Was a shame for Mohsni as he'd been doing OK up until then.
Templeton and Wallace combined fantastically well at times. Will see if they'll be allowed to do similar next week.

We might have left it late but I'll take that win. Especially with a squad decimated by international call ups.
Hearts have won loads of their points and built up goal difference this season through grabbing clutches of goals in the last 10 minutes and it's proven that a certain level of fitness and training should be enough to overcome smaller teams. It's nice to see we might be starting to show that level of drive and confidence, not to mention proper preparation, necessary to hurt teams when they're stretched and tiring.
