8 points clear with 15 to win. Celtic really are going to have to collapse, but as you suggested, that's not impossible.
Benfica late winner. Still very possible to overturn it, though, just like the previous round.

Last time I responded, we were in March 2026. Meanwhile, I missed a painful loss to Celtic on the European stage though you did claim another league title. A 3rd place for Scotland. Currently well behind Celtic and at a disadvantage against Benfica in UEFA Europa League. So, that big breakthrough on Champions League level did not occur yet in the first four seasons; nice to see realism holds out for so long into the future.

Yes, a lot has happened since. Welcome back, and thanks for making such a thorough readup, bringing you up to speed for the present. I hope everything is all right at home with your daughter.
I agree with the realism part, I usually have this constant upgoing curve making me a Champions League winner in season 7 or 8 or something, with the form only going up until then. Even when a played with Vejle two years ago! But this season with Rangers, and perhaps also the one before, I've been stalling a bit, after reaching 101 points in the 2024/25 season.
Usually I would have taken another step by now, and that is actually why I was also a bit reluctant to take a club like Rangers in the first place, maybe being a bit too close to the top to begin with. But the current development seems to hold something back, so I still have things left to explore, before I (maybe) reach that summit. Celtic's incredible form is also helpful in that regard, I might add. I remember I few years ago, playing in the Premier League, I could end the season with 75 points and be crowned champion. I believe that my current two-horse race with Celtic is incredibly realistic, so I'm thoroughly enjoying the development so far.

Thanks, daughter is alright for now (knock on wood)...
Well I think it's brill really, 2024 Celtic, 2025 Rangers, 2026 Rangers, 2027 Celtic..., seldomly have I seen the AI 'bounce back'. Most of the times, once one has the winning team or formula, one just keeps on winning. I think this motivates to get that league title back to the Gers; one more season!

Yes, exactly my point. Usually it's just up, up, up. This development is quite new to me, so there's certainly motivation to bounce back now.
