But when you’re at the 30-game mark, and looking at those last few games and still within touching difference, all it needs is one result to go or fall your teams way and it can open everything up. It can really intensify.
FT: Rangers 4-0 St Mirren
Steven Gerrard on Rangers TV: "I’m disappointed with the first half performance. I thought we were a little bit off it. I thought we looked a little bit lethargic and forgot to do the basics that are required at football matches at a big club, which is to run hard be aggressive make tackles, do the ugly bits.
"We looked dangerous going forward in the first half.
Image source, SNSSteven Gerrard said two of the awarded penalties were "definite" and two were "debatable"
"There was an improvement in the second half and I thought we passed it better and created more.
"It looked better when we went 4-4-2 with the wingers and we could've won the game more emphatically.
"Performance-wise, I'm a bit disappointed today."
Regarding Rangers being awarded four penalties, Gerrard said: "The first one: stonewall, 100% penalty.
"The second one is debatable and I'm not sure how much contact there was.
"But what I will say is that none of our players appealed or tried to get a penalty. Jermain's bounced right back up to get on with the game and we were awarded the penalty so, we'll take it.
Number three was the handball that's gone into the penalty box.
"And number four, handball right on the 18-yard box was debatable as well.
"Two are definites for me and two are debatable, and we feel as if the officials have missed a clear one on Alfredo [Morelos]. So there could've been five, which is very strange.
"Some you get, some you don't."
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Aberdeen
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes on Sportsound: "A tough place to come and get all three points. We made it a more challenging than it needed to be. I thought we had a good response to going behind. Two good goals. Missed chances - one cleared off the line.
"And then we had to adapt to Jo and Sam going off. Two big key players for us that give us presence defending crosses and set plays. So we were always a bit vulnerable at that side today but we defended that admirably.

"Second half, it’s probably as comfortable as I’ve been against a Hibs team for a long time. We were guilty of passing up chance after chance. I thought our work rate at the top of the pitch was magnificent forcing them to make mistakes and keep the danger away from our 18-yard box.
"I thought we were really slick on the counter attack. We’ve had a lot of tough games against Hibs but that’s been the most comfortable. 2-1 suggests a really close game but I feel that, if we had taken our chances, we would've been out of sight."
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Aberdeen
Hibernian interim head coach Eddie May: "We got off to a good start and had a couple of shots on goal. Oli scored a very good goal.
"We then lose a goal, three minutes after we score. The players don't mean to make those mistakes - it's a learning curve.
Image source, SNSEddie May said Hibernian were punished for their mistakes in the defeat by Aberdeen
"Decision making [by top quality players] on and off the ball, we're usually good at it. But unfortunately, we got on the wrong side a couple of times, and it's cost us two goals.
"\We took the game to Aberdeen and didn't try to sit back. But they're very good in the forward areas and have good movement.
"I wouldn't say we're in turmoil, what we are is a work in progress in terms of the new guys coming in."
FT: Hamilton Academical 1-1 Dundee
Dundee manager Jim McIntyre on Sportsound: "Accies started the game brighter than us and had a couple of early chances. After 20 minutes we grew into the game and Gary Woods has made two unbelievable saves. There were a bit of nerves from both sides.
"Good composure from Scott Wright to pick out the corner. From then Accies put us under pressure and we didn't keep the ball well enough and got deeper and deeper and then you're always liable to concede opportunities from the edge of your box. It's a fantastic finish from Mackinnon."

FT: Hamilton Academical 1-1 Dundee
Hamilton head coach Brian Rice certainly enjoyed his first match in charge.
"It was fantastic, the spirit, the effort, the energy. Everything I asked of the boys they showed it in abundance today," he said on Sportsound.

"There wasn't much between the teams, they had chances we had chances. But the never-say-die attitude Hamilton's famed for came to the fore."
FT: Motherwell 3-0 Livingston
Livingston head coach Gary Holt tells BBC Scotland: "Individual errors are costing us goals when maybe we were getting away with them at the start of the season. We need to re-group and get back to basics."

Quote MessageI think Aberdeen deserved it. They were organised. They played most of the football. They were the team creating chances and looked as though they had the quality players that always looked dangerous on the break. It possibly could have been a wider gap. In terms of football, organisation and threat, there was quite a wide gap this afternoon. Hibs put a lot of effort in the second half certainly but never really had any class. You never really felt that any of their players were capable of creating something special.
FT: Motherwell 3-0 Livingston
Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "I actually think we've played better and lost games. The difference between us now and before Christmas is we've got players up front who can win us football matches.

"Maybe I'm too demanding. We've won four in a row and I still think we can do better than that. We're getting better and better. We changed system at Christmas and waited to get the players in. And we're getting clean sheets - and if you don't concede you don't lose football matches."
