Giovanni van Bronckhorst says Rangers have to be "perfect" after losing to St Johnstone as he echoed Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou's title requirement from last season.
The Light Blues have won just once in their last five matches in all competitions. A 4-1 drubbing of Aberdeen was a bright spot amid a clutch of European thumpings, while a 1-1 home draw had to be salvaged at the death against Livingston before defeat to St Johnstone on Sunday.
Those results have seen Celtic surge seven points clear at the Premiership summit, leaving van Bronckhorst with a massive job on his hands to even try and keep pace with their city rivals. Whether he'll get the chance to try and make up that ground is now extremely doubtful given their current position and lack of positives to take from recent games. Last season, Postecoglou found himself chasing the Hoops' city neighbours and his players responded by reeling them in, reports The Daily Record.
